“I thought I’ve always taken the road less travelled.
I guess I did make myself believe that for quite some time.
Now I have no qualms admitting to myself that I only thought I did.
From the start of the journey, I had one foot out the door I guess.
I was taking one step forward, and two steps back each time.
The universe is just conspiring to show me what a fool I’ve made of myself.
Lately, so many circumstances have pointed out the fact that
having the guts to do things is not really enough.
What I need is to have the guts to do things that matter the most to me.
It’s not enough to fight for something but you don’t know the reason why you
are fighting for it in the first place.
Same as going after something/someone without a thought as to
why you’re going through all the trouble for it in the first place.
Sometimes, going after something/someone without knowing why you should is so pointless.
It’s just wasting time, a luxury that you don’t have.
What if you’re going after something so hard for and then one day you just realize after getting it
that it’s not what you wanted all along.
You don’t even know what the fuss was all about in the first place.
And you’ve known deep down what you wanted since the very beginning
but you were too scared to go after it so you went after something else
to play it safe because if and when you failed, it wouldn’t sting half as much.
So all along you kidded yourself into thinking you were taking the road less travelled,
taking big risks, diving headfirst, free-falling into the unknown.
But all along, you played it safe.
You took the wrong risks and felt giddy with the fake highs.
And how dumb was that?
I want no more of that.
This time around I’m going out bare-naked.
Stop wasting away by chasing after the wind.
I’m now going for the gold.
I won’t pretend I’m not scared out of my wits.
Eyes are going to roll, tongues are going to wag.
On top of that I’d finally be giving myself a second chance at something I shied away
from years ago because I didn’t want to fail at the one thing I knew I was born to do.
No pressure, right? Ha!
So there.
I’ve just recently taken one baby step towards that.
I just hope and pray I won’t take two giant steps backward.
I’m going after that dream and
finally taking the road less travelled.”

Baggage: everyone’s got some
– that’s not the problem:
it’s whether you control & heal it,
or it controls & destroys you.
"You can at any time reinvent yourself
You can learn new things at any time in your life,
For you can undo core irrational beliefs. . .
. . .drop the ~stinkin’ thinkin’
(change your head – change your life),
and . . . a whole new world opens up to you.
And be free.”
