Taking it Back

Today I took a step toward getting my life back. I've been contemplating this move for quite a while. A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to do it, but I hadn't decided on the timing. Market forces nicely interfered for a change, and it became possible to do this now. It was harder to do than I thought. I had to openly and voluntarily make a statement that would change how I was perceived. I spent the last five years developing that reputation and view of me. I still don't know what will happen, what the final answer will be. I am hopeful that it will be the answer I want to hear, and I suspect it will be. Regardless, I know what I will do next. And that feels good. I am owning my life for the first time in years. That feels incredible. I didn't realize how out of control and how trapped I felt until today.
