I'm scared to do what makes me happy (because they might hate me)
A friend reached out asking for advice. I suggested she do what makes her happy. She replied, I don't think I've ever done that. At first, I was shocked. Imagine that, I thought. How sad. Then, 9 seconds passed, and I realised I'm exactly the same. Worse actually. I've become a person who is scared and anxious to do what makes me happy. I need a million reassurances, soothing words, and pats on the back. Smiles all round. Only then will I commit. Maybe. Here's a conversation about that. We hope it helps if you find yourself in the same situation. This is a very honest conversation between a husband and wife, sharing who we are and how we do life. Sharing how our family healing journey, our extended sabbatical, our world-wandering, transformative search for "home". Sharing this space and time with YOU to contemplate who we are, how we manage life, who we want to be next and how to figure that out is an honour. We hope you see in us what we see in you.
