Free Floater
Ever since my return to Amman I have become a free floater. I feel like I am floating in time and space. The reason is simple: my life is about to change dramatically. I quit my job thereby ridding myself of that commitment, I started working on a project that excites me beyond words and which I believe holds a lot of potential, and I miraculously secured familial support for an important plan for my future. These three shackles lost have freed me up to a scary degree.
Someone told me yesterday that I have lost my edge. I suppose that misjudgment came about because I am generally more relaxed now, a little more focused, a little less reckless. I am a happier person, even though I am dreadfully more politically savvy and bordering on hypocritical out of necessity. These are temporal sacrifices I must make and keep my eyes on the prize.
