I resonate with this, particularly the last bit. I'm kind of in that zone right now. Its a strange state of limbo. The weird thing is I have had the inverse metaphor guiding me, where I think you build a broken ship and set sail and drum up the courage leave sight of the shore.

For me, burning the ship, from this metaphors point of view feels less like taking a leap of faith and more like, killing your lifeline, asserting a form of mistrust within the self, almost like killing the "weak-side". To me I think the problem has been that there's a weak-side you fear, that you cut it out rather than use it as a tool to do the very thing you set out to do. The ship in some sense got you here.
