You also have the talent and smarts to back it up! I am so excited to see what these next months and years bring your way. I don't think you will ever regret the decision to leave the bakery, but at some point you probably would have regretted staying and not trying. So bravo for your decision, and always remember: "you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." ;-)Amanda @ HopeHasAPlacehttp://hopehap.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-74006787321994920662010-07-23T08:17:23.681-04:002010-07-23T08:17:23.681-04:00Way to go my dear!

That and your post ...That's a beautiful quote! That and your post capture something I've been trying to put into words for a while now. I love it!<br /><br />I feel like I'm in the process of leaping (or attempting to leap) off a metaphorical cliff right now, too. A recent and fairly severe relapse of my OCD compromised my ability to perform my research job, and as a result, I eventually forfeited my position. However, I am actually really grateful that all this happened because, in the process, I realized that I didn't actually want to do the job I was doing. I was being, as you say, "harm avoidant" and going with the safe but still respectable bet, rather than taking a chance and pursuing those things I was more interested in. <br /><br />As I recover from my most recent odyssey into OCD-land, I have been trying to construct a life that makes living with minimal OCD seem worth the work to get there. Part of this has been trying to go for things that I want to try, even if they aren't completely "safe." For instance, I started speaking up and commenting on people's blogs when I enjoyed them :), blogs that I had been reading silently for a while. Eventually, I even got up the nerve to start my own. And now I'm looking into new jobs, jobs that really pique my interest rather than those that are interesting but only really catch my attention because they are "safe."<br /><br />Thanks for your inspiring post! Good luck with your writing! I look forward to reading more!Fellow OCD Suffererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157849944445411960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-76158976372603044652010-07-23T01:17:31.327-04:002010-07-23T01:17:31.327-04:00Congratulations!
