ENROUTE
UNSENT LETTER 37
This one is for being lost:
“Getting lost is part of getting there.”
― Marty Rubin
I get lost almost all the time. And no, this is not a metaphor for anything. I really do get lost often, even with a drawn out map, or better yet, the help of good ole Google maps, I have a way of ending up lost. My sense of direction is one to laugh at, especially when it is so clear that I am supposed to be headed east but somehow I am all the way west.
I’ve been trying to make sense of everything. Life has been moving at the speed of light and I have spent way too much time questioning all that I am and all that I know. Every time I get an answer or the semblance of an answer, there is always a different question that needs to be answered. Up until recently, I had not seriously thought of who I want to be. The thought of it was scary (it still is) and I opted to procrastinate and deal with it later. Guess what? We might have gotten to the later part!
I am not much of an adventurous person. I like going to places I know, use routes and paths I am used to and being in familiar places, and of course with familiar company. But here is the thing, you never truly get where you ought to be if you stick to the same place. In my attempts to figure out the ever changing future, I have had to admit that I am lost, yes, this is the metaphor part. I have had to admit that the world is big and I do not know enough, or as much as I pretend to. One of the hardest things to do is to admit that you are lost. You do not notice that you are lost. It creeps up on you like a shadow. You wake up one day and you realize things are not how they used to be and there is no familiar thing for miles and miles.
Younger me would freak out and want to scream. Well, I still want to do that. But I now know that for me to experience the world differently, change and learn, I have to be willing to get lost and find myself again. I have to be open to new things, people and places. Does it suck to get lost? Yes, but while we are here, we might as well enjoy the journey!
Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don’t be afraid of getting lost!
Love, Light and Getting Lost✨
