Vulnerable

There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

I am staring a new journey, down a new path. Nothing seems familiar and I am completely ok with that. I have never felt so vulnerable to new things. New things are coming my way. I am starting a new job, going to a new school, having to make new friends, and start being responsible for my own finances. I am hoping that as I start this journey that my vulnerability will slowly fade away.
