Familiarity is oh so comfortable. It’s predictable which leads to another good feeling, contentment. In my little piece of the world, I love to feel all three of those things because I know just what to expect.
There are people that thrive on excitement, the thrill of the unexpected; however, you won’t generally find me in that category.
Cancer is my zodiac sign, and I’ve read many different descriptions. Some I identify with more than others, but there is one consistent theme in all the descriptions I’ve read that, as my Mama would say, “describes me to a T”, and that is
....can be very reluctant to let go of or move on from situations that give them a sense of emotional security, and sometimes it is necessary to move on.
After mentally exploring all the what ifs and why nots, and sometimes putting soul searching thoughts on paper, I now recognize and acknowledge that familiarity and fulfillment are not the same. In some areas of my life, quite frankly, fulfillment is MIA (missing in action). It’s time to make a change. And I’ve done that.
Am I happy and excited, yes! Also a little sad and a tinny bit scared. But if I had to put all my feelings on a scale, sad and scared would be at the top, cause I’m feeling excited and happy more than anything. :-)
