Merging Two Paths
I am currently on two paths. They share several things in common — but are still not the same.
I have a habit of being more than one thing at a time. Some of this has been a response to attempting to do two things at once. On some occasions, this has been about me working a “normal” job while pursuing a passion at the same time.
Over the past year, now, I have been working on a singular vision. I don’t have a “normal” job while pursuing my passion. Instead, I have been walking the path of my choosing.
To be fair, it’s a rocky path. Also, not even a little bit straight and full of obstacles. Challenges lie around nearly every bend, and this hasn’t yet landed me exactly where I desire to be.
But I am walking the path of my choosing. It has been very freeing in many ways. Yet still, it’s not a singular path, either.
I am on two paths. Both are part of my intent for how I desire to live my life. Yet they remain separated. It’s akin to railroad tracks. Heading in the same direction but forever just shy of five feet apart.
On the one path is my career as a professional writer. On the other, my identity as a business.
