Breathe. Pray. Love. Risk. Truth. Faith. Strength.


Do not be afraid to take the step into the unknown. Do not hold your breath as you take that leap.

Is it possible to want the simple things in life? Nothing more, nothing less.

Is it selfish to want it all? See the world’s beauty. Experience all the happiness life has to offer. 

____________________________________________________

Able to breathe. Guided by truth. Comforted by faith. Surrounded by love. Push to risk.  Taught to pray. Obstacles for strength.

Soak up the moments that brighten your soul.

Leave the past where it is. Be sure to get up every time you fall.

Feed your mind, body, & soul.

CURVEBALL


It was as though something tugged at my heart and my mind didn’t know how to react. Anxiety came over me. It felt like my subconscious exploded and emotions from the past months rushed to my present state. Instances, mixed words, encounters all jumbled together and tore my heart and mind apart. At a crossroad I was forced to make a decision. To lead the life I knew, or in the words of Robert Frost, “Take the road less traveled”.  Well at the last moment I took the latter. The night the decision was made I wrote myself a note. It is to remind myself that I understand the decision made could be the biggest mistake of my life, and if the time comes when I feel that way there is nothing left to do but accept it and move on.

Here I am, a month later. Past couple of days I have been thinking of my decision. I think about how I would feel if I were on the other side of this; if I had made the other decision. Then I remember, I knew what I was getting into down this path. I knew it would lead to a future unknown.

And now…all that is left…is to LIVE.
