Time Travelled — 5 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Found this on LinkedIn today, and it's really resonating: "What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the Universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for." - unknown Relatedly, a line from poetry class that has always stayed with me: "How we enter into the unknown is how we live our lives." Lastly, remember: you do not need to be burnt out to take a break. This one's from you, PastSelf. -- Yes, taking a sabbatical is a risk. Choosing the live with that perpetual itch in your soul? Also a risk. If you have not yet done so... Take the risk. You have more than earned it. Don't make this decision about money; live simply and you're already covered by savings (and J's support as backup). Take the break. Our FutureSelf will be so, so grateful.
