Life is all about beginnings and endings. Old chapters need to be closed before new ones can be opened. My personality enjoys stability, so whenever there’s a change of some sort it I tend to feel it rather heavily. At this point there are a couple of things winding down, and a couple of things that are still in their infancy. In my mind, I kind of imagine all of these things in the form of several hourglasses. The final grains of sand are draining out of the ones related to work, and perhaps improv. My time with my current team is fading; soon I’ll be transferring to another team with a whole new set of responsibilities. In improv, my 300 foundation class is coming to an end. Following that I’ll be taking the final foundation course. Who knows where that will lead? The hourglass related to running was only flipped over a little while ago. There’s still a long way off before that one drains, but I can’t afford to let that one be ignored.
I’m just feeling a little bit uneasy at this time. I’m sure I’ll feel more at ease once everything finds a rhythm again. As it is, I feel like I’m using so much of my energy holding back. It’s sort of draining, to be honest. This summer will be exciting and exhausting all at the same time. I have to recognize that this is a necessary transition. I can’t shy away from it. I need to face it all and embrace it, willingly or otherwise.
