Bottoming Out.
There’s an unexpected side effect of bottoming out or at least an epiphany I had one day last week. Once you lose everything, it becomes a lot easier to reject the unacceptable. Knowing what bottom feels like gives you the space to be brave.
It’s become obvious to me that in a lot of areas of my life I really have nothing to lose if I put all my cards on the table. Like I have already lost everything and I have found that anytime I put any person, place, or thing in front of myself, I will lose that person, place, or thing. So by asking for what I am worth in any relationship- if I lose that relationship as a result, I KNOW I WILL BE OK.
Because 2 years ago, I lost everything. Not only did I gain it back but I got a brighter shinier and newer version of it. People are irreplaceable but sometimes with time and space, they come back. Sometimes we have to lose things in order to find ourselves and become a better version of who we are.
At the end of the day, what’s a job really? It’s just a job and I am sure there will be more.
