Anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But mostly out of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just really empowering to take whatever it is you are feeling shitty and restricted and challenged about, and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u2019m not claiming it\u2019s better than not moving on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a time for reflection and respect and even wallowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are many times where you just want to experiment with shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s turned out pretty useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means I get stuck less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t stop and back out as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hardly get lost in distress anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whatever it is I feel, I\u2019ve learned to pick it up and take it with me, even if it\u2019s shaking and screaming and shivering and howling inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not about doing the best thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about having more options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
