Sometimes with these writing prompts, I am not sure if I should write the first thing on my mind that pops up when I read it or if I am supposed to marinate with it and then write.
One of the biggest decisions that I made in the past that helped me grow was walking away from the film industry. I was very uncomfortable with walking away from this fantasy that I created in my head, but that choice has led me to a different life and to reaching goals that I never thought would be possible today.
The lesson learned was to not keep chasing and learn when to walk away, and that it is okay. The storyline is just making a detour. In my early 20s, I had this mindset that if I kept pushing and working towards the dream, eventually it would work out, but at some point, I was just tearing myself down, and nothing is worth that. It was really hard finding a new path, and it took a lot of time. The most important thing I got out of it was that there are endless possibilities, and you are not weak when you walk away. It is your strength to recognize when it is time to head towards something else.
Happy Friday!
