I jump. (Patreon)

I often feel like a little girl perpetually standing at the edge of the water, afraid to jump in…

But at some point — however long it takes, however terrified I feel — I just do.

Because I am compelled.

Because I chose to be here.

Because I must.

And on the other side… is a world of play.

And depth.

And everything that I desire.

So, with every ounce of bravery I can muster…

With a trembling heart and trembling hands…

I take a breath.

Hold it.

And jump.
