Chapter 1: Embracing Life's Colors

Life can take many unexpected turns...

Life can take many unexpected turns...

Today marks the seventh day of my writing challenge, bringing us close to the halfway point. The prompt for Day 7 asks: What shade represents your life at this moment and why?

Currently, I would describe my life as a blend of green and yellow. This imagery brings to mind a traffic light; perhaps this connection stems from reading Matthew McConaughey's book, "Greenlights," a while back.

Right now, I feel like I'm making significant strides. I'm becoming more at ease with my identity and evolving as a writer, athlete, and individual. However, this journey isn't without its hurdles. I need to assess my financial situation, and if it comes to it, I may have to return to full-time work.

To summarize, there are numerous paths available to me at this moment. I have a variety of passions, which could be seen as a fortunate dilemma. Yet, this abundance also presents challenges as I strive to juggle writing, jiu-jitsu, travel, and the everyday aspects of life.

There’s a lot I aspire to accomplish, and I often find myself questioning how to best allocate my time. A significant part of this might be my tendency to overthink.

I would characterize my current life as a greenish-yellow, indicating that I feel aligned with my journey, though I'm uncertain about where I'll be in the coming months. A year ago, this uncertainty would have felt overwhelming.

Now, however, I find that unpredictability quite exhilarating. Regardless of my choices, I know I will navigate through.

That concludes my reflections for Day 7. This exercise has been enjoyable to ponder.
