Stories for when you're not where you thought you'd be
Welcome to the Wayward Fish
A place to share stories,
to gather when you feel stuck in the sand or lost in the tides.
A place for those in-between or on the edge,
the gentle laggers-behind, the ones to whom things come slowly.
A place for those who hold back from doing what they love for fear of failure,
who struggle to allow themselves permission to create.
And a place for those whose souls simply need to breathe,
away from the constant ‘shoulds’ of life…
Come and find musings on how we spend our time.
Stories for when you’re not where you thought you’d be.
Usedom Island - C O'Driscoll
Clare O'Driscoll
I'm Clare, a self-confessed ‘career-flounderer’ and a lifelong straggler behind, I have pondered purpose and vocation, I have panicked about productivity and lost time, I have craved creativity.
When life doesn't go to plan, it’s easy to feel lost.
Not just that we are lost, but that we've lost a part of ourselves.
But, like pebble-dashed beach streams trickling and winding their way to the water’s edge, we will find our way back.
Those streams rarely run in straight lines to the sea.
They curve and twist, cutting into the sand and leaving their mark along the way.
And, in the end, they reach the right place.
