Its good to hear your thoughts again after your hiatus. Your path to independence is now broad and straight and the light at the end is clear. Just go to that light and you will have what you want. This is a timely video for me. Yes, some things appear just out of reach. Patience and discipline will carry the day. "Picking meekly at typewriter keys" ---yeah, I feel that one. "And still, the bravest fight and conquer so." I was in a literal war once upon a time. In some ways the daily, lonely work at the keyboard is tougher and takes more discipline, and yes courage, though of a different kind. As always, thanks, Lubna
Thank you for your comment, Jeremy. I love your comparison between literal war and the daily, lonely work at the keyboard. Yes, writing requires a different type of courage. One of the psychologists whose work I deeply admire, Rollo May, wrote a book titled The Courage to Create, in which he talked about just that-why, in creating anything, one must be brave. I would like to share a quote from that book with you here. 🌼🌟💛 “Creative people, as I see them, are distinguished by the fact that they can live with anxiety, even though a high price may be paid in terms of insecurity, sensitivity, and defenselessness for the gift of the ‘divine madness,’ to borrow the term used by the classical Greeks. They do not run away from non-being, but by encountering and wrestling with it, force it to produce being. They knock on silence for an answering music; they pursue meaninglessness until they can force it to mean.”
I adore that quote. Thank you for sharing it. Yes, each person moves at his/her own pace in life. We are each exactly where we need to be right now. It is okay for us to take our time. Beautiful things grow slowly. 🌺✨🌱

@LubnaKabir Aw, that's a great quote, Lubna 🙏
