A Leap of Faith Over the Unknown

Fresh air. A new story, which I've read before. I now stand upon stacks and stacks of experience–gliding across the new sky of unknown encounters. But stories have started to repeat and overlap themselves. The same piece of art is drawn over and over again, no new experience is made. Boring.

What about something new? Something groundbreaking. Something that the world has never seen. A part of space waiting to be invented!

The feel of something new is what I yearn for but I still overthink my choices after all this time. The real world is an unforgiving place and I don’t want to hear what the world may say. So would it be so bad if I stayed where I am? If I never try anything new then I never have to be criticized for trying it.

But what happens when the question that I fail to confront finds me in the end? Once the question and I are face to face?

‘Is it good enough?’

And once it’s here I'm not sure that I'll ever be ready.

A path that changes constantly, sometimes it’s miles wide or just a centimeter.

Even if I do somehow manage that last move, what happens then? When I die what happens to me? What will I be remembered for? How can I still greedily hold onto the earth even after I have passed on? What will be the point of making this one dream come true with all my heart and soul just for no difference to be made–just for no one to remember me? When I pour in all my effort, will I have made the wrong choice?

But–I do have all of these opportunities and much more than just hope to achieve my dreams. My hope to create something great, something new. An opportunity set in my path and a raging fire of determination. But how long will it be until people notice the fire for what it's done? How long until all of the determination and willpower is burnt to the last of its ashes? Until the fire goes out overwhelmed and scared from air roaring harshly all the way down to its small origins and the embers break away into the wind.

It's a risk that I need to take.

My first leap of faith.
