I crave new challenges. There is a discomfort to be found in the new. Here, I thrive. Getting out of my comfort zone, provided an opportunity to learn some amazing things about myself. I firmly believe when we shake things up we grasp this chance. Thrusting ourselves into a new job, new city, a new relationship, or new opportunity, we reveal what we are capable of accomplishing.

To be without these new chances is like a death sentence for me. I crave new beginnings. If some portion of my life is not in flux, I feel stuck and suffocated. I have been this way most of my adult life. Maybe I am addicted to the adrenaline that accompanies change. Maybe I fear complacency. Maybe I fear missing out on the next great adventure. Whatever it is, I am consumed with fear. Things are not progressing. Pieces are not falling into place. Life feels like it is passing me by. It may be time for something drastic.

Why? Because I crave rebirth. The new provides opportunities to further my understanding of myself and the world. The new is like a blank chalkboard or page one of a new book. Here, anything is possible. Birth is about growing. Rebirth is about invention. New opportunities provide a chance to spend some time in the lab tooling away on the grand experiment of self and self-expression.

Thanks for entering my world,
