This hits home, Jill. Your challenges and goals are different from mine, but I get the identity crisis part. I am often left feeling like I am not doing enough in a particular role (trad wife role included!) but to do more would mean writing off some other desire, and I haven’t really decided what I want to be “when I grow up,” so I don’t know what to let go of. (Having reached my 50’s, I kind of thought I’d know by now.)
Your essay gave voice to a lot that’s running around in my head right now.
It’s easy to think we’re always running behind; the hard part is believing you’re exactly where you need to be. Glad to have you along for the journey!
Ever evolving on our way through unbecoming all we are not in order to become all that we are! The journey is the work and I’m here for it with you!
I keep needing to be reminded of this! Love you, friend ❤️
