Standing at the edge of my current life, I stare into the shores of the unknown.
The water moves in gentle waves, threatening to tickle my toes.
I swallow the lump in my throat, butterflies cramping my stomach.
Should I stay? Walk in one step at a time? Or just dive in headfirst into the bright blue water?
I glance over my shoulder, seeing everything I'd be leaving behind if I chose to move forward.
Yes, I would miss them. I would hold that old life in a happy nostalgia.
But I can't live that life anymore. It no longer serves me.
I turn back to the vast, colorful horizon with its lapping waters. I smile as every fiber of my being calls me to move forward.
I am ready.
I take that first step.
