Maybe With May

A big part of the reason I started this blog is because I am thinking about a career change. Some might call it a mid-life crisis, and maybe to some extent it is, but I feel like the universe is trying to pull me in a new direction. I think it’s actually been trying to pull me for a long long time and I am very reluctant when it comes to change. I don’t hate my job, most days 😂, but I also don’t LOVE it either. That is where the problem lies. I want something that I am passionate about and that I feel like gives me purpose. Life is short, and I want to live every day to the fullest. Lately, it’s just seemed like survival. There is absolutely nothing standing in my way, except me.

I don’t have a perfectly polished plan yet. I’m not even totally sure what this “new direction” looks like. I just know I’m being pulled toward something different. I want work that I can feel excited about when I wake up in the morning.

I don’t know exactly where this will lead yet, but I do know I don’t want to sleepwalk through the rest of my life. So this is my starting point. If you’ve gone through a career change (or are in the middle of one), I’d love to hear your story in the comments.
