Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I often say I like to live my life without regrets.
And it is true. Iβve very much so worked on releasing any doubts, negativities or fears surrounding decisions which only uplift me more – whether that be emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually.
There are many hard risks Iβve had to take and paths Iβve had to make the choice to go down – which Iβm content to say that over time have only been for my highest good.
I donβt like to get too deep into the details, some of those things would be leaving a toxic work environment and exiting a bad relationship. Those decisions are risky in a sense because sometimes we find comfort in familiar things even if they are harmful to us.
The devil you know, and all that.
The best thing I could ever do for myself was to decide to be free. I say it over and over again.
Free of doubts, free of worries, free of any ill will towards others.
Preserving my peace, not disturbing it.
Purging. Releasing. Healing.
Self-love always has to be the way forward. Not selfish.
If you stress me out emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually, Iβm gone.
Like the wind.
Iβm an Air sign, after all.
If you want the hurricane, Iβll give it to you.
No regrets.

It’s a line from bit of a melancholy song, Bird on a Wire, by Leonard Cohen (who wrote the song Hallelujah, which has been covered so many times). Your post is anything but melancholy, but there’s a beautiful defiance in his writing sometimes too, determined to very much be himself.

Well said. Yes. I am like that, disappearing from anything I don’t need to be around for that causes stress, that affects me physically or mentally.
