Life Around The Corner

Choosing Life and Operating Happiness

Baby Steps

A morning of light
After a โ€œtoss and turnโ€ night.
I donโ€™t want to go outside
But I must.
I want to have strength
And I feel weak.
I canโ€™t figure out my next move.
I feel itโ€™s not mine to make alone,
I donโ€™t know what to do.
I fear for my mental health
In case I make the wrong choice.

I am so true to my core,
That anything not serving it
Makes me sick.
Another perspective will call me
Spoiled and stubborn.
I decline this perspective
After years of embracing it.

I need to make my choice,
Itโ€™s time and Iโ€™m afraid.
No one is holding my hand
As I enter the great hall of choices.
My eyes are covered
And I am in the middle of an intersection,
My path to be determined by
Sound and intuition.
Real life.

I feel I have the answer,
I see it in my mind.
Two people,
Not one.
Movement and stability,
Serenity and excitement.
Endless choices,
Times two.
I wonder if Iโ€™m right.
I feel I am.
I donโ€™t know how to propose this
As a plan.

I donโ€™t know the right strategy for me,
There are many distractions.
My mind is flooded with information.
Words are heavy.
Love is light.
Freedom is light.
Things seem unresolvable.
I want to book a flight.
A vacation in a beautiful site.

  1. This was in my inbox this morning from โ€œNotes from the Universeโ€ by tut.com

    โ€œFor every fork in the road, Tamara, there are often two paths from which to choose: the one you “should” take and the one you want to take.

    Take the second. Always take the second.

    I did,
    The Universeโ€œ
