How Do You Leave Something That's Already Really Good?
How do you leave something that's already really good?
It hit me as we decided to give up our place in LA..
This felt like the first time I was choosing to make a move in my life, not from desperation or because I was so uncomfortable, but because I felt a whisper inside that would not go away.
That voice that keeps popping up “What if there is more than this?” “What if you took the leap and it worked out?”
In the past I left the job, relationship or moved because of discomfort. I waited until I got to a point where I felt I needed to get the hell out of there. (Anyone relate to that place?)
This time was different. I loved our life in LA, I still do. I was grateful and content, AND yet I felt deeply called for something more.
Of course every thought crossed my mind during this process “If it isn’t bad shouldn’t we just stay?” “I can tolerate it another year.” “This is good enough, there is no way it can get better!”
Being on the other side of this big change, it is clear there was more for us. I am blown away by how much I love this new city. It is opening up so much internally and externally in my life.
