I love this - it really resonated with me too. I’ve been a room rearranger for a long time, especially as a means to avoid things I didn’t want to do. I also move frequently, looking forward to styling and changing, but also searching for the right place, which I haven’t really found yet either. The moving of objects has definitely mirrored my dissatisfaction with my career, but also led to a major career change from teaching high school into actually organizing and styling homes. And yet when that new work with long-term clients starts to feel mundane or it’s hard to build with new clients, I find myself going back to teaching. The dissatisfaction is still there but I’m still work out how to fix it, so I keep moving back and forth, making slight adjustments.
This truly resonates with me, beautifully said.
