My "Safe Place"

I don’t listen. I don’t try. I don’t compromise.

And that’s where I’m flawed.

It took two weeks, just two weeks to see what I missed out on.

I missed out on adventures, new food, and good times.

I had found my safe place, but it’s something that should have never existed in the first place.

See when we get in our own safe places, we tune out so many opportunities.

And that’s something I'll never do again.

My “safe place” caused more harm than protection.

I didn’t live life, I didn't celebrate special moments, I didn't make the most out of what I had.

And I can’t go back, that’s the thing.

I just can't.

But I will tell you what I can do.

I will listen. I will compromise, I will live life and take it for everything it has to offer.

No more being scared, no more being anxious, no more overthinking.

It’s time to just live.

It’s time. And there’s no looking back.

(p.s. I’m sorry)
