The Pivot
The feeling of being pointed in a certain direction and not questioning it, had always been there.
Other directions were subconsciously acknowledged, but a conscious decision to choose them, somehow, didn’t exist.
The promise of safety, was the currency, exchanged for obedience.
Future directions mapped out with generic intentions and outcomes, accompanied by a sense of blame if they failed to come to fruition.
Then came the Pivot.
Multiple directions were now considered, they were as individual as the person choosing them.
Outcomes became unique lessons of strength and weakness.
