chronicle IV - crossing the first threshold
to the life that lost me
To the life that lost me,
In that moment, I made a choice.
An opportunity presented itself,
and without hesitation, I took the leap.
The decision was not hard:
I didn't weigh everything up in the moment -
I already knew I didn't want the old life I had been living.
When the opportunity arose, I committed to it wholeheartedly.
Every part of my being was in motion.
My mind was extremely aware of my surroundings -
they roared around me.
Every detail of that moment is still so vivid.
I had never felt so much fear and so much excitement all at once.
In that moment, I risked everything.
What I was about to do was exceptionally dangerous,
and I didn't do it cautiously.
I did it boldly, visibly, and unapologetically.
I risked everything because the moment I saw the life I wanted,
I knew I had to move.
I jumped, and nothing could ever be the same again.
While I felt fear, I showed myself that fear was not going to stop me.
I had stepped to the edge and looked at the drop,
and I jumped anyway.
In that moment, I was suspended between the old life and the new life,
and I had no control of where I would land, or if I would ever land.
I did it with no certainty at all -
only the truth that I could not remain where I was.
