To be soft~

I am so scared.

I'm venturing out into the world. To form my own lifestyle. To follow passions.

I'm sweating. It's cold and smelly. Nervous. Am I coffee high?

My face feels heavy. Sitting in a permeant frown.

I am scared.

Am I going crazy? Was this just a wintertime rush?

This is a chance to jump in and live through inspiration- like the sailors and dreamers I've looked up to since youth.

My deepest hope is, as I venture into the unknown, that I don't become hard- tough- and rigid- instead- soft- so soft, compassionate, trusting and gentle- spirited and grounded.
