there are times I’m more than a little scared and insecure…
when all I ever knew was restricted and insular…
where the thoughts I have turn dark and negative…
but that’s an old and worn narrative…
besides it’s all relative…
in those times I just refocus and think of what I’ve done to get this far…
missing and moving from the places you are…
I knew love and I knew pain, but there’s so much more life to live…
we all have our own talents and passions to creatively give…
it’s okay to take a step at a time towards the reality you want to build one day…
I’m thankful for the challenges and lessons that happened along the way…
