I heard someone say recently that the reason that anyone feels stagnant in their life is because they fear going deeper. This idea stuck with me. At first I wanted to think of all the reasons or cases this would not be the case. Then I started to think that it isn’t exactly that I feel stagnant in my life but maybe just bored or too into the same routine. Basically it comes down to the fact that ideas and inspiration are just not flowing through me. I have felt this way for a while and thought maybe it would pass, but it hasn’t. What is a girl to do when she is not feeling inspired by life or trying new things? I guess the dude was right – gotta go deeper. Why would it be scary? Well, change can be scary and doing new things can be scary, I guess. I am not sure what I could be scared of, but I am vowing to you here and now that I will look that fear in the face and jump into the deep end. How else am I going to get where I need to go?
