Antigone Lost But I Didn't

Tomorrow is the first day of my new career. I am...giddy. I'm also a little bit terrified in a holy-cow-what-the-hell-have-I-gotten-myself-into-can-this-be-for-real sort of way.

If you look closely you may notice that something on this blog has changed. I removed 90% of the content, leaving just a handful of posts. As I removed the content I felt like I was shedding the past and so much of its burden. It was time. I was ready. And now I feel physically and emotionally lighter.

Happiness has always been within reach.

Best wishes as you start the next phase of your life.

Antigone gone? Well, 90% gone, anyway.

Of all the people I know, you're one of the few that I think is actually able grasp the happiness that's within reach.

It's spring, it's time for closet cleaning! I tossed a million clothes (to the charity), and freed a whole room in my house.

Looks like you're doing the same. I'm glad you are not afraid to shed this label and just be, you. I had a feeling about the imminence of this a few months earlier. I'm glad to hear you're moving on. I'm curious about your career move. Tell us please?

I also had a recent career change.

Good luck to both of us!!

Have a great day and don't forget to breathe.

Kristin said...

Best of luck to you. (Apropos of nothing, my eye always interpreted the "lost" in your title as an adjective, not a verb. As in chaise longue, or fettucine alfredo. Or Paradise Lost. Or some such.) Antigone Found? =)

Again, best of luck.

Kristin said...

I hope you had a wonderful day!

Angela said...

I could never delete anything from my blogs, I'm entirely too nervous for that. I'm glad you were able to. That must feel great! I hope everything went well today....are you going to tell us any more about this new career?

Congratulations on beginning anew! i like your idea of shedding all the old stuff to make room for the new that God provide. I will pray and ask the Lord to guide you fully through this new chapter in your life.

Be blessed!

*Cheers* ... to new beginnings and good things. When are you gonna tell us what you're up to?! :-)

Which Box said...

So are you done? Is this it? The end of the puzzle? (not that you're a puzzle, like Niobe, for example, but you know). You didn't lose. And maybe that is all that needs to be said.

(But I'm really intensely curious about what's going on!)

ioana said...

Hi
I've only commented a handful of time, but am a longtime reader. I just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you and P fondly and hoping you are both thriving.
I wish you both the best and, selfishly, hope you'll update so we know you're ok.

I hope this isn't the end of the posts, but if it is, I know it's b/c you and Percy are doing well.

are you ever coming back or just abandoning us

Yana said...

Although it seems pretty clear that this is Antigone's farewell note, I've been checking back here every day anyway.

If you're still reading this Antigone: As a lurker for many months now, I'd just like to thank you for the blog, and wish you fair winds and following seas wherever life takes you and Percy. You deserve every happiness.

Jamie said...

Best of luck to you...i'd love an update now and again, but understand if this is it!
