if this is a game


I never got the instructions.

I wish I had some instructions right now.
for the first time in my life.
I have no plan.
it's terrifying.
I don't know where to start.
I don't know where I'm going.
for the first time in my life.
I am unsure.
I am unsure of what I can do.

it's hard to believe that last summer I picked up the nickname "Too Sure Callie"
well friends, now I'm Unsure McAllister.
I'd like to think of it as humility.
but really it's just fear.

for the first time in my life.
I am finding myself afraid of the unknown.
for the first time in my life.
I am admitting it.
and.
for the first time in my life.
I am going to overcome it.
I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I must stop and look fear in the face . . .
I say to myself, I've lived through this and can take the next thing that comes along . . .
We must do the things we think we cannot do. — Eleanor Roosevelt

new horizons

well friends, I have a lot of choices to make in the near future-
but no plans...
so I'm looking into the horizon.

not quite having a clue of what it is.
or how I'm going to get there.
the sky is the limit.
