Personal Narrative- The Path Towards Grace, Love and PeaceWhen I was 16 I left my parents home. One month before I left, I wrote this in my journalWhat is the fluttering in my belly, rising up by dint of my chest? An apprehension a fear excitement? I am anticipating a change a falling down a caving in of something I expect to be solid. Im in a strange place, moving slowly forward with nonhing that can be measured an internal advancement, a shedding away of old selves. I am pared down.The story of my leaving still feels like something written in code a code no one could understand on the rational mind level. It was my reasons decision and no follow of explaining or writing has helped enlighten those who did not understand it. I and understood it myself. To those who did understand, I had to say very little. They knew within the first cardinal minutes of my telling. They were inevitably people who, at some point in their bears, tried to bury their own souls yearnings, who had decided to live a perfective tensely fine and reasonable spirit, until the day they could not. That day of soul excavation remains crystal clear in their minds. As do all the nudges and urgings from the universe that led them there. Once I left, I looked endorse and saw this path towards that day so clearly to me it made perfect sense. So much so that when friends asked me later, How could you leave such(prenominal) a life not having to work, good parents, nice house? I would answer, How could I not? And yet, I had never felt so humbled. With my leaving came the realization of how very little I had known my Self all those years. I did not leave gracefully.I did not expect my soul to be such an urgent and powerful force. Nor did I plan to leave when I did provided once I did, I felt supported and encouraged by something I could not name. The path ahead kept lighting up as if with neon. Go there. Do this. Fear accompanied me and frustration, guilt and dreaded prayers, but no longer did I feel that deep affliction I could not name, which Sarah Ban Breathnagh, in her book Simple Abundance, says is you scatty your authentic self.I feel lucky now that as a child I took on little of our cultures freight around success.
