"I’ve talked to many friends this week who are in transition, many in multiple areas of their life, and I am as well. It’s a funny thing about all of those inspirational quotes and photos we look to for encouragement: “Leap and the net will appear,” “She took a leap and built her wings on the way down,” “If not now, than when?” We need those pushes out of the nest, or we’d never go, but what they neglect to tell us is that the time between leaping and landing is often longer than we expect. It’s terrifying. It’s long enough at times that we start to wonder if we’ve done the right thing. [...] When we feel beaten and tired of waiting for it all to come together, we unfold the letters we’ve written, the cocktail napkin manifestos and Moleskines full of grand plans and read them to each other, that we might be buoyed by them and carry on. When we are here, in the in between, we write a love letter to our unwritten future."
