I so relate to this post. It reminds me of how I didn’t know what the f was going on when I was in my single dating phase. And I was stressed to figure it out and find my person. And if I had trusted that it would work I would have enjoyed that phase so much more. Looking back it was actually epic. It’s a regret I have. So I try to remember it now when I don’t know what I’m doing 😂
Nicole - I absolutely love this post. I resonate deeply with it and how you highlight your discomfort. Not know what's next is so challenging... especially when *knowing* is a strategy that has worked so well in the past. At least that's my experience. *knowing* allows us to feel confident in the steps we're taking. It sounds like you're learning to rest in the unknown. I agree that there is so much possibility there... it's like trying something new. So curious where it will lead!
Thanks-- I'm glad you love it, friend. Yeah, I think I'm *trying* to learn to rest in the unknown. LOL. I think for me it's balance. Writing this substack is helping me feel proactive, even if I'm still just "accepting" and "exploring". Is this making any sense? Basically, I don't think I could live in that place of possibility and not do anything at all to explore what's going on or how I'm feeling or what I want.
I like that! No agenda. I've been thinking a lot about playing more as an adult and I think that concept is tied to having no agenda with playtime creativity, whatever it is.

This definitely makes sense! There's a desire for forward movement with Possibility. It sounds like you're in a "no agenda yet" space.

Absolutely! I love it.
