I love the mosaic metaphor! Yes, I can see how a life is made up of fragments. I relate to the quitting-my-job decision, as you know, but when I did it I didn’t have something to go to next. Figuring out what’s next - a creative business - has been very much like putting together a mosaic. The mosaic is made if these questions: what are my interest? What am I actually good at? What will people be willing to pay me for? What do people really need!
Your mosaic metaphor and learning something more about your own creative path is very reassuring to me!
The message I’m taking away is that breaks (deliberate or otherwise) are part of living (in fact everything breaks eventually) and then we can tap into creativity and make something new - incorporating old elements that we want to keep with new elements and letting go of the rest.
