Midlife Crisis or Barrier Crushing?

I think I may have hit my midlife crisis point, but it doesn't feel at all like a crisis. It feels like I am ready to liberate myself from things that have stood in my way. I feel crazy, because I no longer feel so scared about "What if this happens?" or "what if this goes wrong?" I just have this strange new belief that I have been living by the rules that have been imposed upon me from various places, and I am now ready to break free. This is no manic high. It is just a response to seeing things in a new way - a multi-dimensional but singular way.
Maybe I have just lost my mind. Hopefully, I have just regained it. Please nobody say, "awww" because I am now single. Please nobody bust my bubble and tell me that I can't or that I won't succeed. Just keep me in your thoughts - prayers - light - so that I can break free and become me all over again. If this is midlife crisis, I love it. I am realizing who I am right now, and I like that person a lot.

Dear Andrea:
You are the Butterfly emerging from your cocoon……. so spread your lovely wings and float and fly as high as you want to - keep that image in mind, and you'll do fine. So glad to see you posting, as well.

Sounds like an exciting moment…breaking free and returning to yourself. Wish you the best! X0X
How about a hug and a high-five? ;)
Gemstar,
That is the most beautiful image I can think of to describe this feeling. I have been so busy that it was hard to find time to post.
Chris and Ayla,
I am always thinking about you two as well. I feel very liberated being sans man, and even though I've got more health crises raging, opportunities are popping up everywhere.
Siona,
Many, many hugs and high fives to you. It is a great moment when you can realize you are facing things that scare the $#^* out of you and you are alright.
Love to all,
Andrea
Where you find yourself right now resonates within me as well. I have come to see that it is time to not worry about being who others feel more comfortable with. I also realize that I now need to be fully, uncomfortably who I am….. I won't pop your bubble!
Thanks Zephyrnorth. I think sometimes the whole trick to life is not letting it matter when other people do burst your bubble. Some of us have bubbles and others pins. I'd rather be a bubbler any day.
