So, lets take a step back...
I am where I'm supposed to be.
I am good at work... not phenomenal (like I once thought I would be), not great, not even really good, but just good. Good enough to make the company more than enough money and not get fired. Good enough to continue up the standard promotion chain.
Good enough to become all the people that I look up to at work, and if I ever progress beyond just good, someday I might become like my father and his father.
It is where I always knew that I would be... I just thought that it would take a bit longer to get to this path.
Maybe I didn't take my time like I should have before becoming an adult. But does it matter? There are still plenty of adventures, uncertainties and mishaps to be had.
It is just a step back, a big picture view, and an acceptance. Not a regretful acceptance (as I imagined the corporate life would be). Not a sorrowful or even despondent acceptance. Not at all. It is an extremely content acceptance. Like a breath of really fresh air.
I am where I am supposed to be. The rest of the pieces will fall as they may.
Cheers!
