I put one foot forward and found nothing but air.
Then, I brought the other up to meet it just for the hell of it.
Fall.
Everyone asks the same questions: Where are you going? Why are you going? Where are you landing? And most importantly, Does your parachute work?
These questions ,perhaps pertinent before the leap, now render themselves worrisome hindrances to the ride.
The truth is, there is not going back; there is only the illusion of retreat.
The truth is, this has already happened, and everything now is just a matter of degree: How much will this hurt? How long will it take? How hard should we try?
Shouldn't this be easier?
I look up at you to see that you're still standing on the edge contemplating the fall.
And I realize that I have become the girl I said I wouldn't be, doing all the things I said I wouldn't do.
And this is the biggest breakthrough of all: It is time I caught myself.
