No More Running

Run. Run. Run.

Do, Do. Do.

Don't miss out.

My whole life I have been

running, running, running from place to place,

from activity to activity because I was afraid.

I was afraid that my childhood would leave me in the

dust of disappointment and missed opportunities, and I would be

left as nothing more than a big ball of

what if's.

But now,

as I have grown up and seen the beautiful and terrible

creations this world is capable of producing

I am reminded

that I do not have to

do everything,

see everything,

try everything,

and be everything

in order to amount

to something.
