Thanks for this, Jen. Two of my favorite classic rock tracks- Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill', Bruce Dickinson's 'Tears of the Dragon'- addressed at least in part the two singers' decisions to exit their respective bands (Genesis, Iron Maiden). Memorable lyrics, imagery spun of difficult transitions

It's so tempting to cling to what's familiar and even rewarding - love these examples. I will have to listen to Peter Gabriel today now. :)

"What we truly quit is all that doesn’t nag us and remind us that it’s still there." As I'm neurodivergent, this statement really rings true for me. Thank you for your continued, supportive posts!

Quitting helps so many of us create space, Dennis. Cheers to being neurospicy, as my friend endearingly calls us.
