Just like the last petal falling from the rose at the end of beauty and the beast,
I too am drifting in the wind.
I recently (this past weekend) read an article about "The Drifter Phenomenon". This occurs when events in life dictate where you land. You either consciously or subconsciously allow others to make decisions for you.
All this time I thought myself a pioneer and in control of my fate. But how could that be when I am living in a city I hate? !
Unbeknownst to me I had become a victim to the drifter effect! I graduated college and jumped at the first little job offered to me because I was still in a lease and I didn't want to break it. I got in a relationship with a man I was not even attracted to just because he said he wanted along term relationship. The list goes on. Needless to say that relationship ended ( crashed and burned to be more accurate). Now while the job resulted in a promotion and a respectable salary, I am still drifting waiting on life to control where I end up. I literally was a bystander in the last two years of my own life!
This realization has struck me like a lightening bolt. Life is short and I'm going to spend every waking minute living it the way I want. I am truly going to be the master of my fate and the captain of my soul.
Currently sinfully taking back control of my life.
