Menu About My other blog Valuable Resources The Life I Want May 22, 2020 ~ Laura Lowder ~ 1 Comment Years of being told who I was supposed to be, what I was supposed to settle for . . . none of it honest, none of it good, not knowing how to fight back to claim my own identity and to defy the people I love .. . They mean well, but they don’t know me, so they have no authority to dictate my life to me. Still, from childhood I’d been taught I was supposed to yield to their judgments in all matters.
In the fall, I made the decision: I would move. I would cut the safety rope linking me to a life I mostly hated, but which was quite secure, and go in pursuit of something more. Once I reached this decision, I must say, I have not had a moment of fear or uncertainty. I have paused frequently to ask myself whether I really was willing to take this risk, and each time the answer was a joyful Yes!
