I needed to hear this. I struggle so hard to feel like something is 'the right' decision and I think this is the reason. As you said better here, I sometimes think there's a little too much emphasis in our world on shining the light on the positive. I can't always suss out a good decision because how can it be right if it still weighs on me? This translated into words what my heart couldn't. That maybe sometimes the weight of the good decision is just as heavy as the bad one (albeit different reasons), and takes just as long to let go of/adjust to, and that is alright. Thanks for posting 🧡

Absolutely loved and needed this read. I feel as if I've had a tiny little pit growing inside me for all the possibilities I said no to to pursue my dreams. And though I know I made the right decision it's still a kind of "well I guess this is goodbye" that I never got to express. I think I'll turn this idea into a little mini ritual going forward 😊 thank you for the lovely read!

Thanks for this, James. I'm anticipating taking a decision that will require letting many things go, so it's good to be reminded how that will feel when that decision has been acted on.

Thank you for sharing that, Leanne. And I appreciate you receiving this post — I feel like it's helpful to acknowledge ahead of time, when we can, that this is the reality of our decision. Maybe it helps us release some of the resistance of the full experience.
