Loved this section: “nobody ever told me how you’re supposed to dream a broken dream again, and I’ve been trying to figure that out. For years now. Somedays, the journey hitherto feels preordained, like I’m being taken someplace with an invisible blindfold, but “they” just decided not to tell me that nothing was ever really my decision anyway.”
It reminds me of a phrase I once heard - “stop living the life you are planning and start living the life that is trying to live you.” For me it was a shift from thinking my way forward in life to listening my way forward. Listening to my soul and the life around me.
That is so apt to what I've been feeling for ages now James, thanks for your comment! The voices eventually start getting louder and louder, and harder to ignore. I'm trying to figure out how I can surrender more to it without a barrage of "what-ifs".

Abhishek- I wrote my last blog piece about the voices getting louder and louder if you care to have a read.
It’s amazing how many of us out here in WOP are having similar experiences with our insides pointing us in a new direction in life.
