Just today I re-opened this blog because the school year is officially over. Before today, I felt that it was unprofessional of me to write about the place I worked in an online blog. I am leaving behind my position at the middle school, however, so that fear is vanquished. My room's almost cleaned out. I am exhausted.
Among other reasons for resigning, I want to explore my other career options and get some of my life back now. I also feel that I am being a quitter. I could have chosen to stay another year (or two, or whatever). Settle down here. Save up some money and just chalk it up to experience.
But that's not being fair to myself. I didn't fail at this job; I am not incompetent. There's no need to worry about walking away from another school year. I keep telling myself that.
What will happen next? Who knows. I am feeling it out the best I can. Right now part of me has fears about the future. Another part of me senses an opportunity to come alive. I can do anything, as I could all along, if only I choose.
