There is so much laughter layered into the realities of a big adventure in this piece! I am leaving my job to be a lighthouse keeper for the summer with my friend and feel the same. You will never be fully ready. That’s why you gotta go. Thank you for sharing!

I described the feeling of leaving my job as jumping a cliff and hoping to fly. A stint as a lighthouse keeper sounds like a writer's dream—looking forward to following along!

Im laughing and tearing up and so so happy reading this. And despite not knowing any boat terminology, I felt right there with you scrubbing and scraping all the dingle dongles until that boat set sail. Bon voyage!! ⛵️
