To be

Advertisements

Afraid and to do it anyways.

Feels terrifying but if I don’t make this move now.

When will I have the time again?

Or who will do it for me if I don’t do it for myself now.

No more being annoyed when others ask about it for it will be done.

There will be no going back for it is time to let it go.

It is time to trust that it will succeed or it will fail but I put all of me in it.

And that truly is all that matters right now for me.

No more doubts or what if’s for now it will be what now?
