That moment.
When it finally clicks and you realize that the reasons you’ve used for so long are no longer good enough to hold you there; in the place of indecision. When you look into the mirror and no longer even recognize your own weak excuses. Your motivations to stay are lacking real substance and the excuses lay deflated at your feet as you step over them toward the daylight.
That moment.
When even the stale threats which frightened you so much before the shift echo hollow in your ears and you hear them for what they were, words. Their empty promises offer little more and once you’ve gathered the courage to trample over them, you’re one step closer to peace.
That moment.
As you’ve stepped beyond that place having made your choice, and while you’re relieved you question yourself because the darkness seems to be so ominous. It shifts and grows around you, almost as if it bears life and a small voice whispers into your mind, “Go back.” Hissing that back means safety, security at the risk familiar complacency.
That moment.
When you continue to push until you feel as if you can no longer take the darkness. When your mind struggles in the chaos it creates as it begins to close in, yet still you push.
Then…that moment.
When you reach the daylight, the darkness dissolves in an instant and you can finally see around you. The hope of what the future will bring on your horizon and the peace of this singular moment, telling you that for all of the struggle…
This moment was worth it.
