What no one tells you.....is that forging a new path is heartbreaking. Sure, the warnings are out there that it is challenging, lonely, frustrating, rewarding, etc. But it is also super heartbreaking as you shed that version of yourself that you've lived so comfortably in for however long. You look for signs, something...anything...to let you know you're on the right path because sometimes it is so painful, the thought of giving up is a relief.
