In the Beginning

January 8, 2024

When I began
I was terrified
The path was unknown

What if everyone rejects me?
What if I end up all alone?
What if this is all in my head?
What if I'm wrong?

Every step was scary
Every step revealed a new challenge
Companions vanished
Replaced by new ones
Instability was the only constant

One step at a time
I've made it this far
I'm not carefully treading now
I'm running
Thrilled to see what lies ahead

This is what I want
This is who I am
