Writer's Block: Bump In The Night
What are you afraid of?
What the hel. I'm game. (I clicked on this link that apparently is a little "kick start" for journal topics.
What am I afraid of? I'm afraid of never doing or being any of the things I say I want to do or be. I am less afraid of (as Lady Diana says) "jumping out of a perfectly good airplane" than I am of life in general. What does that mean? I am afraid I'll never change, never become, never be.
One of my cousins recently asked me (with sort of a sneer, actually - the weiner) "So do you think this will be the last career you'll have?" (can you say "blacksheep?" that's me!) My truthful answer? "Probably not." And it's true. I desire so much more. I mean, this is a good job with good benefits and a stable future - all good things. And yet, my inner voice keeps telling me "this is not all there is - you know there is something spectacular waiting just for you. Find it!"
And so my search continues.
