Everywhere throughout my mind- there’s ideas of things I strongly desire to achieve, to hold, to experience. There’s corners I know I need to turn and there’s roads I feel I need to cross unharmed. The thought of all I am required to do drains me daily, nightly, monthly and yearly- and yet out of my fear of failure, and from within my fear of rejection, I wait, I avoid, I retreat. I hold back, because it feels safe and secure to remove myself from any form of risk. It pains me. Hundreds, thousands and millions of opportunities pass me within mere moments, just as time seems to. And I see them, I watch them, I feel them… Internally my body reaches out for them, but externally I am stubborn. Tell me, why is it so hard to act on something that I desire so very strongly?
