Are You Ready?

"Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" - Alicia Keys



For a long time, I have been very afraid of life, of myself, of my fears. Anxiety eats me. I keep trying to figure out who I am and I struggle to be the person I want to be.

Last night was one of the most wonderful nights of my life. I had worked so hard to make prom amazing. I wish I hadn't been so mean to my date in the beginning, but I think everything worked out for the rest of the night. The limo worked out. The weather was marvelous in Seattle. And the venue was gorgeous. I had so much pure fun with my best buds and my lifelong friends, and I know I chose the right people to spend my night with. The whole experience was just so magical. From sundown to sunup, I was just immersed in so much happiness, so my vibrancy, so much life.

I also had a fascinating conversation with a great friend. Sometimes we do the un-thinkable, but I think I am ready. I think I am ready to face my fears. Thank you, you know who you are.

I feel contented for the first time in ages. Life is going to be challenging, but the potholes ahead are so much easier when we are okay with ourselves.
