Its a funny feeling, almost like running in the dark, you don't know where you are going or whats ahead. Going out into the unknown is a frightening experience. To walk towards the light is an easy choice but to walk towards the dark - willingly - is a difficult choice. As a people our choices tend towards the known. Its why we turn on the lights, stay in jobs for years or accumulate money.
I, personally, am kind of frightened, as I stare into the darkness I feel nerves that I claimed wouldn't exist. This claim, however, was made during a time of easy choice - light. The calming words of "every door that closes another opens" and "every failure is an opportunity to learn" do nothing to reassure.
Its frustrating but also exciting in another way. It is my choice as to which it will be for me. I have looked in the mirror and realized that I am unhappy too many times. Maybe a gentle hand is pushing me in the direction I need to be going. I hope so.

Having just been thru the tunnel myself, and remembering the words you emailed to me, I can give you the profound advice that the phrases you mention in the blog are not empty and are true. 'In the fullness of time' ( another well used phrase) you will see that. You can apply the wisdom that you have acquired recently and know that this is true. By doing that I think you can avoid the self indulgence of the "drama" of the situation.
