I am learning myself how much I value comfort. I thought it was freedom, but it’s really comfort.
Like you, I spent much of my adult life on my own with no one influencing how I steered my ship. No one to rock my boat.
Last year I became my parents’ caregiver and it’s totally rocked my boat. The year before that I got remarried. Less boat rocking because we had a 2 year courtship and 6 month engagement.
But yeah, I’m in this boat and I want it to be on a calm lake instead of a tumultuous ocean.
Freedom is the choice to be ourselves -- and sometimes that can feel curtailed, by circumstance outside our control. I feel you 💛
It’s a lot to take in, and a lot to handle -- and I don’t think there’s anything we can do to stop the waves, but give ourselves as much grace and patience as we can as we learn to adapt to a new environment. It is very hard; you are learning to sail a new chapter ❤️
Love this, Kathryn. The timing of your words (and that Kathryn May writing, omg!) is impeccable (freakishly so 😂). Sending love 💛💛💛
Lots of love Esther! 💛 (I know, my timing always is 😉)
