But what if you did?

Life is terrifying. We’re all grown up enough to admit that, aren’t we?

It’s terrifying and it’s challenging and it can be so overwhelming. The prospect of taking a chance, and taking a shit is daunting. Anything could happen. It’s scary to decide that you are going to make something, do something, taste something, love someone.

And so there’s a temptation to give into the fear. To hide away, and never roll the dice. To play it safe, and be safe and never risk the world falling out from under your uncertain feet.

For some of us though, the thoughts don’t just go away. The ideas don’t go away. They visit us when we least expect it, when inspiration strikes, or when boredom makes the mundanity too much to bear. And we think - but what if we did…

You don’t know for sure that the dark is going to fall, that your dreams will prove worthless, that love is out of reach. You don’t know for sure that it isn’t. Not until you try. Not until you take a running start and leap into thin air, with the courage of a dreamer and absolutely zero sense of self preservation.

What if you did? What if you did what your heart wants? What if you did what your soul is screaming to do? What if you did what makes you shake with fear and excitement, what if you saw, what if you went, what if you tried, what if you wrote…what if you reached for someone’s hand, touched it and changed everything?

Dear God, I’d love to see it happen. 🖤
