I never question where my path leads anymore, what I do know is this, I will be exactly where I need to be.
It’s been an exceptionally challenging year, but a good one nonetheless. With every difficult ending, it sets the path for a beautiful beginning.
The last few months have been a seesaw of emotions, I was trapped between my loyalty and my conflicted emotions for people who would inevitably show me exactly who they were. I would come home angry, disappointed and defeated. Nothing I did was ever right or good enough.
The universe gave me the signs. My stubbornness kept negotiating. Until it could not tolerate it anymore. It wasn’t me who wasn’t good enough, it was them who could no longer serve my purpose.
Then it happened.
That scene from The Shawshank Redemption comes to mind, where Andy Dufresne wades through five football fields of shit and waste to finally reach freedom.
That is what elation feels like.
I thought I would be heart broken, I thought I was worried about the future. But I felt nothing but pure elation.
Relief.
Joy.
The light was back in my eyes again.
And like that, with my arms embracing the universe for giving me everything that it has.
I learnt this.
I will never compromise my belief, my authenticity and who I am for anyone or anything anymore.
I am who I am, everything else is irrelevant.
