WILFL - #1
I've learned a lot of things in the past 13 years. I've grown from a nebulous 22 year old into a woman. I never thought I'd really feel like a WOMAN; I mean just last year I thought I was like 15 for a few minutes when I tried to climb on top of the monkey bars at the playground. And, when I turned 30, I was in real denial for quite some time about that number. I really didn't like "getting older". I wanted to be the hot 20-something forever.
However, around the age of 32, there was some kind of awakening within me, and by age 34 the awakening was nothing short of a crescendo. There was no turning down the volume anymore.
Now, here I am, 35 years old. Mother. WOMAN. It took a divorce to really open my eyes to a few things about myself, and I've come to several startling conclusions. Some are personal flaws that I probably should have worked on way before now, and others are details about myself and my needs that I never acknowledged or came to terms with. And so, I am going to be sharing them here, one at a time, so that I don't forget what I've learned, and also in the hopes that maybe some of you will remember to look within yourselves regularly. Don't wait as long as I did.
What I've Learned From Life - #1:
I am a passionate woman.
I need passion.
I simply cannot thrive without it.
I cannot, and I won't.
