We all have dreams and sometimes while working on those dreams, we become stagnant and make excuses. We tell ourselves we’re going slow because we’re being cautious or dotting all our I’s, but it’s fear that’s paralyzing us.

Sometimes you don’t move fast enough and a dare against, yourself — a sudden decision that seemingly comes out of nowhere but you have to make because you feel it in your bones — becomes the push you never expected. Sometimes God, life, the universe, whoever your higher being is, has a way of pushing us past our fears, our doubts, our past, into the road we’re meant to travel.

And you realize just how focused you are, how much you want something, how hard you’re willing to fight.

You also realize all the people behind you. The ones that believe in you, urge you to continue. The prayers, the well wishes, the pats on the back, all become declarations of friendship, love, support.

And here I am, exhausted but accomplished, not finished but seventy percent into my edits. 

Now waiting for my Game of Thrones break.
