These days, I am being shaped and sharpened and woven into character and unique form. To live is an awfully scary thing, moreso to live in the world that we live in, because we are surrounded by so many things that tell us who we should be, by so many people that ask us who we are, and here we stand with our human hands and so many questions and so many battles and I still feel like a child who craves beauty, and adventure, and wants to feel and smell and hear everything the earth has to offer. I feel this yearning will always remain, and I hope it always remains, because I never want to lose it.
I believe fear is not an enemy, I believe fear is essential for courage, but in order to attain courage, we have to choose it over fear - and that is a choice I must make daily. If I am certain of my choices, and have no regrets, then I must be doing something right. Trust that life is not merely the number of years you live and the history you leave behind, but attaining your own journey and experiencing all the things you're experiencing to shape who you are.
These days, I am learning to live.
