Molting: the process of shedding an old shell to allow for new growth.
Today, I’m driving north to start a new life! I’m leaving the southwest desert and heading home to snow and space. What a dynamic change huh? Within the last 13 months, I have undergone four major life changes. Sprinkle in the spices of 2020, I feel so accomplished! I’m concluding this year feeling like a force to be reckoned with.
As I pulled out town I lived in for 6 years, I began my molting process. I recounted my expectations when I arrived, hopeful to rekindle my marriage. The good experiences: having my daughter, awesome job, getting my masters degree, and making a new support team/family. Then it hit me like a tidal wave. In this town, I developed anxiety. Something I never had til the last 3 years. Within 45 minutes of pulling out, I was an emotional crying MESS! The hurt, disappointment, resentment and anger just flowed out (thank you compound stress). Two hours later, I find myself working through these emotions. I have 2 hours before I exit the land of entrapment. When I cross that state line, I’m not bringing any of that with me. I’m leaving my shell and beginning anew. A little music therapy mixed with sugar treats, I’ve got this.
Since I have accepted my new position, I have found myself on here more than normal. I find peace and calming immersing myself in blogs. So just a big thank you to y’all who have unknowing provided me comfort.
**stay tuned for another Heather, the sorority girl, story. She struck again last night
