The elastic stretches, as I mentioned before. Like gravity, the pull of “home” and family brought me back to Georgia. I ended up pulling strings and asking for a few favors to make it happen. I found a corporate job to replenish funds while staging for the next move. I just clocked out of my last day at a stereotypical dysfunctional job. Now, I am left with feelings of extremes.
It would be easy to dwell on the negative. I could dissect the toxicity and dysfunction I found upon my return, but will leave that up to future post. What I want to focus is the amazing support and the opportunity to reconnect that I found while back. To have this chance to share coffee and conversation in the mornings with family. Even though I was unhappy at this job, having family there as I leave and come back daily has been a true gift.
To be gone for such a long time and see who made time to spend time does matter. To understand who belongs in my inner circle and those that need boundaries does have value. Even though I could have found a job back West that would have accomplished the same thing. It would have left the door open on these questions. This closure is an important step to break the elastic gravitational pull of chapters I have closed.
