What If?
To write down all my fears would take a book.
My desires even more.
The big problem, however, is where they overlap.
To desire what i fear at least seems adventuresome, almost romantic.
Scary yes, but exciting. Like a roller coaster ride with a fear of falling, like i do.
Adulthood, the scary but most wonderful time of life.
Then there is the fear of what i desire.
That is a whole other beast entirely.
What if my desires are not good for others?
What if my desires steer me wrong?
What if i follow one path when another would have been better?
What if i don't achieve my desires?
What if all these existential, angsty thoughts are complicating things and themselves standing in the way?
What if?
What if indeed.
