Out of the system into the vortex

Today marks the day I claimed sovereignty over my time, energy and commitments.

I woke up after a sleepless night at the airport; what might be habitual is a gateway to a new dimension.

A week ago, I sent my resignation email after flirting with the idea for months. The yearning was so intense that I could no longer ignore it, every cell in my body sending me clear signs of rebellion every time I forced myself to do something that no longer ignited my passion for life.

From the outside, leaving a secure job with an open-ended contract and a steady income seems like a poor decision; what has become a trap for the soul was once all I wanted.

But the voice of longing was so loud that it was all I could hear: freedom, freedom, freedom...

And with it comes a heavy bill, a creeping anxiety, a fear of the unknown, with no safety net or backup plan. But while I'm in the air, I'm sure he'll push a parachute on me before I land.

My soul being adventurous as I know it is, I will always seek a path that will challenge all my limiting beliefs and self-restrictions.

I always knew I was not meant to live a conventional life, no matter how much I wanted to adhere to society's dreams, standards and ideas of success, every time I checked off criteria I felt empty and drained of joy and purpose.

-You moved to another country, why did you take your worries with you?

-You got a job, but what are you going to do all your life, the same tasks to pay the bills?

-You have the relationship, look at you, you have never been so alone in someone's company.

-You have the number in your bank account and you still feel poor.

The waitress woke me up asking me to leave the Mc Donalds seat, I checked my phone to find a notification from my bank showing a negative balance of 136.93 euros and yet I have never felt so prosperous and hopeful.

Meeting your soul is dangerous because once seen and heard, its mission cannot be disregarded.

It has and will take me on a crazy roller coaster ride, but as I learn to tango with the unknown, I am bound to enjoy the ride.

These words are for me and for you, see this whisper that hesitates to be voiced, don't ignore it, sit with it, feed it with your imagination, nurture it with the hope and belief that what you call a dream today is the reality that wishes to take material form through you.

Let these words of Rumi water the seed of your soul calling.

"You were born with potential.

You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.

You were born with wings.

You were not made to crawl, so don't.

You have wings.

Learn to use them and fly."
