A funny little Sunday. I went to the coffee shop to do some writing but something in me wanted to converse with people instead. I’ve had a weekend full of amazing people and company and I wanted to continue that beautiful trend. After an hour of turning the sidewalk into somewhat of a meet & greet living room scene, I packed up my stuff and started walking back home. Heard my name being shouted from an outdoor table at the Pleasure Bar right when I was crossing the street. I made a U-turn in the middle of the intersection and took a seat with Vanessa and Becca. A brief hello turned into a couple hours of in depth conversation, which was far from expected. I love when conversation becomes so much more, and I definitely had some of that today. Once again I’m left with the BIG question–a question that keeps popping up and presenting itself to me in a yes you should definitely do that sort of way. Do you follow the heart and risk what feels like everything? All signs are pointing to yes. What else am I to do with the oppurtunity I am given–to live and explore, to experience, to do what I love and be challenged by it; introduce jackhammer to aorta and plunge that thunder in.
Sometimes I worry that I lack the necessary courage, but let’s go with the ultimate truth here: the courage, the work, the drive, the heart, the love: this is all that I am, and all that I have. To not just know that, but to believe it, and to not just believe it, but to pull everything I do through that sieve. A no brainer. A go get ‘em. A never leave yourself behind belief. Going forward, that’s all there is to it.
