Here

I am sitting here with my eyes closed, trying to center myself.

As self-doubt tries to sink into my year.

And I know now that I can’t let this fear eat me up.

Especially now as I walk down a path that feels right and light and beautiful.

I can only see the smile on my face and the tears going down my face as I cry for the happiness I will get after facing and conquering that fear.

I may just be getting started, but I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.

My drive to be present at this moment is more intense than the feeling of fear trying to quiet me and make me turn away.

But I can’t and won’t, so as I keep my eyes closed, the battle will be won.

And the calmness and confidence I need to get through this will come, and I will overcome it all.
