Or about any crossroads, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three major changes are (or might be) happening in my life, and for the sake of brevity and some privacy, I won&#8217;t be sharing them here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also feels strange now, wishing I could have insight not only on peoples&#8217; insight, but their <em>feelings<\/em> during these transitions. I&#8217;ve never been a feelings type of person. I was always one of those robotic emotionless types. But maybe that&#8217;s why it makes sense: I don&#8217;t know how to react emotionally so I want to see what other people do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important takeaway from this period is that I&#8217;m moving out of stagnation and into new, exciting, and scary things. I don&#8217;t like change and I never have, but I wasn&#8217;t happy with the way things were before. It was a combination of laziness, insecurity, and stubbornness that kept me there for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, if any of these come to fruition, I&#8217;ll write about them here.
