I watched the sun disappear behind the smoke-colored clouds. Moving my gaze from above I stared into the abyss below my feet. What’s down there? I contemplated jumping into the void. I extended my left foot but quickly drew it back. Doubt. Hung up on the what-ifs that always kept me safe but still found a way to self-sabotage. I started walking backwards because I want to go back to what’s familiar. But then I’m reminded why I left in the first place. My heartbeat quickened and gradually raced with excitement. I took a deep breath in and boldly sprinted towards the edge of Earth. I closed my eyes and leaped majestically into a swan dive towards the unknown. I’m not afraid anymore.
Peace,

Oooh, I love. Short but impactful and leaves us wanting more.
