Held

Sometimes all i want is to be held; Strong arms holding me tight protecting me from the world, a warm heart beating with the rhythm of mine, and peaceful oblivion where no evil preys on your soul and swallows you whole.  Yes, i just want to be held.

Life Is a Beautiful Journey

"The only way out- is through;" There comes a point in life where we can no longer be afraid. The past lurks behind us, the future awaits dauntingly ahead of us, and the present resides in limbo. We have reached a crossroad in life where we are cautious to propel ourselves forward, but also are hesitant to regress backward in time. It is hard letting go of something that has belonged to us for much of our lives, and yet knowing we have outgrown that certain security blanket is a terrifying stage to be caught in. However, stepping beyond all known boundaries into the unknown is the first step in a continuous series of steps. It is not easy, but it is life, and we cannot be afraid to live it. It is hard to climb those hills and mountains set before us, and from a distance they look enormous and foreboding, but as we approach the base and begin our climb, the path is gently carved away for us. Like an hiker, climber, or extreme sportsman prepares for his/her challenge, life up to this point has provided us with the knowledge and equipped us with the tools needed to forge our own great adventures and navigation of the wide world stretched before, behind, and around us. There is never any certainty of where the paths will lead you, but we must have faith that the end of the journey is where our destiny awaits no matter how many times we veer off course or lose sight of direction. In life there is no GPS warning us to turn right on Walnut street 500 feet ahead and then make a slight right onto Maple...really, there is no map, at least of tangible proportions. Only at the end of our lives as we stand at the gates of heaven, looking back, do we see the map and the path we have chosen. Bottom line is this, do not be afraid to take a leap of faith and plunge headlong into the unknown because you may end up just where you are intended to be.
