Madalyn, I think this piece is a wonderful response to the September writing prompt, Transitions, but you didn't use the proper topic of Writing Prompt Response. Would you like this to be considered a response to the prompt? If so, I can change one of your topics to indicate that and to route it correctly.

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
