I had a eureka moment today. Nothing major. I mean the whole world does not suddenly make sense, but something did become apparent to me. I spend an abundant amount of time worrying and planning and procrastination and holding myself to these standards that I cannot live up to. "Don't give in to what you want, it'll only lead to self destruction." "Don't say yes, they'll think less of you." "Don't let yourself be vulnerable, they'll walk all over you." I want to be vulnerable. I want to say yes. I want to go after what I want, even if I fail. Even if everything goes terribly wrong. It's what I wanted, once upon a time, and that has got to count for something. Yes, I'm afraid. But it's human to be afraid. I am a bird and I am soaring.
