When I think about where I am in life, I find myself roaming this world feeling extremely lost and disappointed. Lost because I don't know where I'm going anymore. I know where I've been, the hurdles I've had to leap over, and the pains I've had to endure. I've had life changing things happen to me from losing people I love, my mom one year and my brother a year and one month later. I lost the ability to walk a little over a year after having my son and now battling severe migraine headaches and neuralgia headaches at the same bloody time that invade my life like ruthless aliens from another planet. I can't tell which way is up or down, left or right.
Then I think about why I'm so disappointed in my life. I've been at a job for over ten years that I get no satisfaction from, no gratification whatsoever. No fulfillment. I started a small online business making dolls that would, I believe, benefit little girls in my community with the hopes of doing this business full-time, because it would make me happy and finally take me away from that job. Now, don't get me wrong. I know I should be grateful to have that job of ten plus years, but I literally cannot stand it. All it does is make me feel trapped like a caged bird, unable to break through the bars of the cage to spread her wings. I can't go anywhere, nor do anything. I accomplish what others want me to accomplish to suite their business needs, but not what I want to suite my needs. I wonder around this job feeling inadequate and unfulfilled. Working for the "man" and not working for myself. At the end of the day, I just need to know and feel like I have done something that has made me proud. Proud of the work I've done. Proud of what I have accomplished. To lay my head down on my pillow at night with an exhausted, yet cheesy grin on my face because I had an awesome day.
So how on earth do I find my way after being lost? How on earth do I go from being disappointed to being happy, proud, and accomplished? I have no idea. I pace back and forth in my mind trying to find the answers...trying to find a solution. I spend time in prayer and contemplation with myself prostrating before God, but not the words to express my frustrations, my fears. What do I do? Where do I go from here?
