What the heck am I doing?


My path seemed set in stone, predetermined, unwavering.

Now it hangs carelessly like a stop sign after a tornado strike.

The debris has settled and I wait anxiously for help to arrive.

But no one comes.

I peek out of my shelter and see a world of opportunities waiting for me.

But I stay inside afraid of the unknown.

Waiting.

Waiting.

What the heck am I doing?
