We’re Here to Go

Listen up, because this is important.

I have no interest in being Who I Was. I’m only interested in being Who I Am, which is changing and growing every year, every day, every minute. I’ve wallowed in the mud of self-doubt and fear and resistance for far too long. I’m going to fall back into the mud again from time to time, but I realize now just how important it is to move forward. To always move forward. We’re here to go.

So if you’re heavily invested in Who I Was, if you want me to be Who You Think I Am, if you’re afraid that I’ll change to the point where you won’t recognize me and I won’t want to associate with you anymore, if you’re afraid of losing me…then let go of me and get the fuck out of my way. You’ve already lost me. I’m here to go.

The time is Right Now. I am Who I Am. Let’s go!

    I just blogged this quote… thought it was relevant to this:

    “Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” -C.S. Lewis

    Moving forward is always better than sitting still or (worse) moving backward.
