Leap: This is your sign to stop waiting until you feel ready.

I shall master the art of leaping before being ready.

Not being ready and doing it anyway because I’ve waited so long, I fear the right time may have passed.

It’s like waiting for a pause in a group conversation to air my opinion, only for the topic to shift and suddenly I feel like I’ve missed my moment.

I’m learning when to let something lie in conversation, and when to pick the topic back up if I deem it important enough.

There are conversations of conflict I know can be had, balanced at the centre of a seesaw, teeter-tottering back and forth on the waning scale of importance.

Should I?

Do I?

Will I?

When?

Why bother?

Does it even fucking matter?

I can chew it over until the moment becomes unreachable, or I can leap before I’m ready and trust myself to figure out what comes next.

Thanks for being here,

Jess
