A promise to self, not again
Not again shall I be in a place of uncertainty
A time when things change drastically
At the slight semblance of stability
Not another time
Of wondering where I'm going next
Anticipating when and how I get there
Yet, here I am
Back in this oddly familiar place
I visit it so often
It feels like I never leave
I found a friend
Through these frequent visits
Her name is Perspective
Some days I choose not to see her
Sometimes she wishes to hide
It takes a bit of time
For me to let her in
But once I do
She wraps herself around me
She says
You know things go up and down
So is it really the uncertainty
Or the consequences that it brings?
Uncertainty in a low stakes situation
Perhaps in a pleasant event
Would that still keep you so distressed?
She makes me ponder
And gives me her gift
Shows me
Things that feel more certain today
Than they did previously
Reminds me
I have been here before
Whispers to me
We can do it again
Though she can feel like a stranger
And moments of doubts creep in
I close my eyes and take the leap
Together we give in
Surrender to uncertainty
Discover strength and resiliency
Together we evolve
Together we grow
