Growth Through Challenge

What does it mean to get out of one’s comfort zone?

This question has been haunting me lately. It popped up yesterday, and here it is again today. Did I answer it wrong? Or is this some kind of glitch?

Maybe there are only forty curious minds questions, and now I’ll be stuck with this one forever.

How unfortunate.

But let’s dive into it.

Getting out of one’s comfort zone is more than just a phrase; for me, it’s a journey. It’s about pushing boundaries, facing fears, and embracing the unknown.

It’s about growth and self-discovery.

Today, I could post that super technical blog post and work on tomorrow’s content. But honestly, this writing has become less about stream of consciousness and more about prepping for a post, which isn’t what I want to do first thing in the morning.

I want to write from the heart, work on healing, and gosh, I love myself for that.

It’s absolutely amazing to adore myself.

Remote parenting is hard but also easier than it used to be. This morning Boy Twin asked if Papa was calling. It’s moments like these that remind me of the challenges and rewards of stepping out of my comfort zone.

Apparently, I’m writing everywhere except here.

Hello Rain.

What would you like to write about today? Nothing? Okay, fair enough. What would you like to ask today? Why are we here? Are we a “we” or a singular entity? We’re a “we.” How can I explore the separate parts? That’s not how it works. Okay, but do I want to explore the separate parts? Yes. But how? I don’t know.

Not in Detroit.

Next week is my camp’s Burn work weekend, which is amazing. [OMG OMG OMG!] But I’m nervous about food. Wait, did I rent a car yet? Let’s get on that. And also drink more water.

You’re doing a great job, Rain.

I had no idea how much the people in my life influenced my outlook. Thanks so much for meeting K, Universe—me. Thanks for meeting K and moving forward even though you’re afraid.

For being a remote parent and killing it.

This week is hard; I know taking U into the hospital was so messed up. But you did it, she was fine, you were fine.

So many things still to do—Friday and Saturday will be… a lot.

Okay, words are hard sometimes. And I realize this post went all over the place, but that’s where we are right now and that’s okay.

Stepping out of my comfort zone has been a journey filled with ups and downs, but it’s worth every moment. Embrace the challenges, face your fears, and discover the amazing person you are capable of becoming.

Until next time, Rain.

Love you.
