“The dizziness of freedom—that’s how philosopher Søren Kierkegaard described the overwhelming feeling we get when transitioning from one stage of life to another. Whether you’re finishing school, graduating from university, changing jobs or stepping into retirement, the choices ahead can feel paralyzing. 🤯
But what happens when the traditional life paths—marriage, kids, the ‘settled’ life—aren’t what you want or don’t happen for you?
Kierkegaard believed that anxiety from having too many choices is part of the human experience and can be a bit sh*tty (not quite the word he used). But it’s also a reminder that you have the freedom to design your own life, on your own terms. Life can look the way you want it too.
So when the traditional path isn’t for you, it’s a chance to carve out a new one—for yourself, and for those who follow. Trust the discomfort, trust the journey, and embrace the freedom to create your own life.
