ENCHANTED LETTERS

Be forewarned. I’m in my feels today. Taylor Swift has been on repeat and has me questioning my life choices. I’m actually listening to All Too Well right now.

What exactly am I questioning?

Everything.

How do you know when you’re making decisions for the right reasons?

First of all, step away from Taylor Swift right now.

Especially if you’re listening to the 10 minute version. Unwrap yourself from your blanket and stop singing into your hairbrush and take some deep breaths.

We all make decisions, right? I think it’s important if you look at the why. Are you hopeful? Scared? Worried? Excited?

Can you maybe tell me what you’re trying to decide? Or give me a little bit more to go on?

- Patch

Are you spying on me? I’ll have you know it was a wine bottle, not my hairbrush.

The decisions in question are sort of in limbo. I don’t want to make the wrong decision. One is about my job. I’ve been doing the same thing for a while now, and I’m not sure it’s working for me anymore.

-L.

Not spying, but now I wish I could. The singing into a wine bottle wrapped in a blanket is a highly entertaining mental image. Thanks for that.

What about your job makes you think that? Is it the one that keeps you traveling? Is there something else you’d rather be doing?

- Patch

So many questions. :)

My coworkers for one. But that shouldn’t be a problem for much longer.

And yes, I’m surprised you remember that!

I think so? That’s the decision that I’m struggling the most with. I’d be starting over from scratch. I have a little money saved up, but there are a lot of things that would have to click into place.

-L.

What’s wrong with starting over from scratch? It’s scary, but maybe that’s the push we need sometimes. Face the unknown and be brave. There’s a whole new life that might wait for you in the wings.

A better life. A happier life.

Be brave.

- Patch

Be brave.

It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?
