This feeling in the pit of my stomach...
Is it anxiety
That my career, particularly after February, isn't panning out the way that it should be?
Is it fear
That my decisions today will come back to haunt me in the future?
Is it excitement
That the potential for growth, for change, is everywhere I look?
Or is it simply
The day-old Korean seafood pancake that I ate for dinner, rubbery octopus and soaking with slick grease?
Things that make you go "hmmmm"..! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes...it's probably the last one:P
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the way poetry touches upon the deepest matters of life, no? (personally I'd go with Door #4, but that could just be me :)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that it's No. 3! x
ReplyDeleteMmm, octopus. Door #5 (baby on board) might be an option, too ;)
ReplyDeleteOh dear Erin, it better not be door #5!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, I'm betting on the Korean pancake.
ReplyDeleteBut big changes in our lives always put a mix of excitement and anxiousness in the pit of our tummies, no? It's never just one or the other. The most likely combination is having the two at the same time.
I'm still betting on the pancakes though...
Maybe all of the above?
ReplyDeleteI definitely can relate to this post. It's always important to take a step back and reflect on the things we done, the decisions we've made and if the path we're on are the right ones, right? Hopefully, all these feelings you're having is the last one, but keeping my fingers crossed for you lady! Non-profit work isn't easy, but it sure is rewarding. Good things are coming your way!
ReplyDeleteOh! This post is so relevant to where my life is...I definitely appreciate this post :)
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for the octopus pancake...but it could be the stress :) lol
ReplyDeleteStress always makes me feel like that, and life choices usually make me think 'Hmmm - is this the right direction?' Hope you're feeling better soon!

oh no - this doesn't sound good. Let's hope it was the pancake...but if it's any of the others I'm sure it will work out for the best. 'cos isn't always the case that when you stop worrying about things, they turn out really well in the end. Sending you lots of happy vibes! Annie x
ReplyDeleteTrust your gut (and I don't mean that Korean pancake). A little anxiety and fear are normal -- it's hard to deal with uncertainty. But think of all the freedom it gives you. Go crazy. Create something unexpected. The fear and anxiety may never go away completely, but you'll be thrilled you pushed past them.
