Have you ever been so scared that you didn’t know which way to look because that fear will always be there?
Always haunting.
Always present.
You pray desperately for the end, for confidence that you did the right thing, but you aren’t sure.
And you feel like you can’t be.
Dear God am I afraid.
I made the decision to pursue going to Costa Rica for at least a month.
The concept of it is starting to sink in, and I can’t remember the last time I was so afraid.
I have been given an ultimatum by my mother, who is not supportive of this decision at all.
I have to come up with the money all on my own.
In about a month.
Oh God help me.
This is the first time I’ve ever really been on my own, and I am terrified. I don’t want to admit it to them. They’d tell me its a better idea to stay home.
Go to college.
Be normal.
Of course, If I am not accepted into the program then there is nothing I can do.
I don’t think there are words to describe accurately how I feel.
Anxious. Anxiety. Excitement. Fear.
It would be so easy to just stay here. To do what they want me to, to be what they want me to be. But that’s not me. I still plan on doing some of the things they want me to do, but just not right now. I’m putting things on hold. I’m going out of my comfort zone and I am afraid. It’s so unknown, so far away. I love my family. I love my parents and my brothers, but I need to do this.
This is what I feel I should do.
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be possible. If not.. then it won’t be.
I love that song. Hold me now, by Red.
I need some comfort and assurance, but I don’t know that I can get it.
Trust in God, He knows better than you do. ~pajamaed
