the risk but I took the leap anyways for there wasn’t much to look back on

I know that nothing good will come if I stay on this side of the cliff today or tomorrow.

It’s time to move on and leave behind the baggage I never wanted to hold on too anyways and anymore.

I’m tired of playing it safe and I know now that I need to take this risk even if it is my last because I don’t want to keep living  the same way.

I want to feel my heart beating so fast and to hold my breath just in hopes that I will make it and if I do I will be so grateful.

But, if I don’t make it at least I know that I tried my hardest in the end to make the change that needed to be done  now rather than later.

I’m tired of being too late and for once I want to be on time with my decisions and to make the cut in the end for I want the best results this time around.

letting it all out for what’s the point in keeping it all inside.

My story and maybe your story needs to be told but, only if you want too.

Sharing can be delightful and well sometimes scary

but, what’s the point in living if you don’t face the fear and jump in anyways.

When you think back to why something was important too you in the first place all the other things or other people opinions doesn’t matter anymore.

It’s just you writing and loving the way you pour it all out on paper or on a computer.

It all gets delivered the way you want it too, and the feeling of accomplishment is worth the time of  be confused  and unanswered questions.

Because, your fire is back and even if it doesn’t last long this time it will all work out in the end for you will recharge over and over again until the story is told and out there for everyone to love and grow from.
