to_settle_or_risk_it_all
REAListic optimIST Privileged hand stapled to forehead
portends a dangerous choice to be made.

I can hold onto a lackluster sure thing
or I can chase an exciting risk.

I can continue to build a life on
an acceptable 5 year foundation;

Or I can deconstruct that house
to build another more complicated one.

I can't tell if the alarm bells going off
are warnings from the universe or just fear.

I don't yet know what I might gain, but
I know full well what I would give up.

I'm leaning toward risking it tonight
and I'm scared more than excited.

unhinged i had to risk it all and the awakenings have been painful.


letting reality slap you in the face without flinching is a skill i haven't acquired
