Writer's Workshop: Why I did it

I did it because my heart wasn't in it. I couldn't find the passion that I thought would be there... it used to be there. I stepped in feeling sure of myself and then I changed my mind. It happens. A part of me was missing, and I needed to figure out what that was. I did. I could have easily stayed put and lived a seemingly nice life... but life is nothing without passion. I climbed to the top of a mountain and free fell off... I hit the bottom and you just happened to be there. I may have jumped in too soon after I fell from high above. I felt like I was living a lie, so I stepped away. I don't feel brave for doing it, nor do I feel weak. I feel like I did exactly what I was supposed to do, because I feel like I am now exactly where I'm supposed to be. The picture that was painted for me was pretty, but maybe I wasn't meant to be the star of someone else's pretty picture... but my own, interesting picture. Modern art, if you will. I'm thankful that you were a part of my life again, but sad that it had to be in that particular era. You're going to paint someone a beautiful picture.

That's why I did it.

    This is such a beautiful writing, kinda feel the same way about my passion, which is different. And on music. But it's similar :)

    You wrote that so beautifully. You managed to capture something and paint it two different ways and that's just the coolest thing.

    Beautiful. I love the sort of illusive nature of the story, too.
