How do you construct a life from scratch? When your family, the community you come from, your workplace and some of the old friends you have do not understand the what or the why of your desire...no scratch that, your NEED to do this.
Who is there to listen to your soul and nod and say:
I hear you
I believe in you
I support you
What if you listen to the little musings in your heart and at the end of the journey you find out that you ended up in a place that was not as far along as your previous ambitious self would judge as an accomplishment?
How do I honor this new part of me that is fighting to gain a standing and bring along the other parts of me from that previous incarnation of myself...without feeling like the past ambitious me is forcing the newer me to grow, to hurry up, to move it along?

Oh, I don't know, but your words resonate so deeply in me that I'm sitting here in tears. I think that is what we all want, someone to say: I see you, and you are good just as you are, and I love you.
And I can relate to the notion of a new self standing up, but wondering how to reconcile that with an old life or shell or whatever the artifacts from before are.
I don't have the answer, but love your question.
Thank you
