Unafraid To Be Afraid

In my affirmations for the year, 

I eagerly wrote I'd like more scary experiences

Cut to two months in the year and I am living my own personal horror film

One challenge after another after another

I'm often terrified I will slip under 

beneath the weight of my own expectations 

And then the strangest thing happens

I surprise myself : I float

I am carried by a strength I did not know I possessed

It's a crisp and delicious thrill, that floods my chest 

And I wonder what else is hiding in there

It's that curiosity that has me diving again, looking for the next scare..
