Tentative
I took a chance.
Sometimes you’re in a position where you’re totally comfortable with your present situation and you feel that maybe this is all you deserve. You deny yourself what you truly want because you don’t want to jeopardise your position. But why not take a risk and see if it could be more than this?
Even if it’s just a shot in the dark. A venture into unfamiliar territory. A plunge into the unknown.
So I took a chance. The truth is, I’m scared. Fearful of the consequences and afraid that it may be too little, too late.
But when you want something badly enough, you sacrifice safety, security, comfort and whatever it is that you’re sure of in life. Even for something that’s vague and uncertain.
And then after that, all you can do is wait for the conclusion, while the world seems to come to a grinding halt, yet the minutes, hours, days, weeks and months stretch into maddening eternity.

Whatever the chance you took, Steph, it shows that you’re a daring person. You’ll never know until you explore the uncertainties.
