Carving out this space to write letters to myself as a form of therapy and as a form of inspiration
I hope what i write can help others in some way.
I am about to make some big decisions in my life and i am on my way to new things and so i need a space like this to collate thiughts but also in an environment of like minded people. Or else I'd just type it out like anyone else would.
Off i go

Dear Hams
I know how you feel right now. There's a lot on your mind. More questions than answers. A lot of the those questions start with the phrase - "what if". The imagination knows no bounds when you start asking yourself "What if". There are so many rabbit holes and so many tangential things to think about when you start going down those paths.
It's kind of ironic in that its safety behaviour - rabbit holes and tangents can be comforting in one sense but then also damaging in another. There are many things you have done that you wish you did not do. There are many things that you have not done that you with you had done. But what does that matter? Why is this cause for concern? I know at a deeper level its because you feel you have not been "living" but have just been "surviving" or "existing" with no aim or direction in place.
It's no wonder you are exhausted. YOu've pushed yourself a great deal these past few years. Covid has definitely not helped. Covid threw a spanner in the works in so many ways - in ways you only know now some 3 years later.
It's hard being human Hams. Let alone, being yourself in a world of fakeness.
I know you are hurting over your dating life. I know you are hurting over lack of experience and the feeling that you are missing out on things in your youth. But I believe if you dig down deep enough you will find resolve within you but also a renewed confidence. That may sound like a far way off, but give it time. Time is all you need to give these things.
I daresay Hams that leaving this job this early on is the first step in improving your life. It feels uneasy and this is normal. But don't let this trick you into thinking you are not worthy of the things that make life worth living. You know what that is and you've endeavoured in the past to make sure you can put that into the world.
Everyone's experience is different in this world Hams. Never forget that.
Take time out to take inventory on things.
Meditate on it even.
You're hurting I know. But allow yourself to heal. Then focus on what must come next
