Sometimes, I squirrel away other people’s writing prompts and then come back to them years later because I finally get there in my non-time pressured to do queue, and I LOVE THAT FEELING OF NOT BEING RUSHED

Is the place where I’m at in my life where I’m truly meant to be? I wonder, I wonder, for the reason that I can get married and fused with an idea even as the context moves on.

I think there’s something truth to it; I am in a place in my life where I am much better than I was before, hacking away at branches and thorns that would catch me off guard, leaving scratches and scars, uncalled for. A treacherous non-road path that I had to fight through.

But I do not know that I am staying here, where I am, where this is, not because it’s not nice, but because leaving that treacherous path afforded me the shoes, the wings, the garments to go further than what is here. I will stay, for a while, and I may return, for a while, but I am excited, so excited, for the roads to come, and perhaps, a little flying, too.

Prompt from KTHT published by Diana C in September 2022 that I tucked away like a squirrel to be dug up years later: This week I want you to write about how the place where you’re at in life right now is not just where you stand, but where you’re truly meant to be. Because you’ve been guided and protected from what wasn’t meant for you so that you could be where you belong at this point in your existence.
