On your own

I've entered into the 6th month. I've stepped into the time frame in which I was so skeptical about. Yet, I've hit a few breaking points - in a good way.

So I know that I'm completely supported. And yet, I have come to a point where I feel more confident in who I am, the choices I make, and the perspective I have.

I don't have the security of nearby friends who, over a coffee break, help me process through life. I don't have the immediate surroundings of family to get me through the everyday drama. But being away from it all, I see that I'm really still okay.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do it without the connections that I have made along the journey. Every step of the way, someone significant has shown up. Definitely necessary.
