The In-Between






I am standing in the in-between. One foot in the past and one in the future. The present is not mine.

As I stand on the cusp of another life change ,I am not sure exactly where I am headed. The thought both terrifies and excites me. This was not the way I planned for my life to go but I tell myself something better is waiting for me. If I stop too long to look at the closed door ,I will miss another one opening, maybe leading  to a more exciting place.

Instead of feeling defeated, I am choosing to believe that this is the opportunity of a lifetime. A clean slate on which to rise from the ashes and rebuild a better version of  myself.

As I step off the ledge one of two things will happen : I will find there is something there to step onto or I will learn how to fly.
