Let's Get It Started
pre-departure panic
I'm leaving tomorrow morning. All my clothes are already packed, almost all final goodbyes have been said. And suddenly a subtle but very present panic has settled in my stomach. I keep telling myself that everything is going to be alright. That I'll be fine. And on a rational level I know that it's true but still I feel anxious. So many thoughts, fears, hopes running through my head. The big unknown lies ahead. My whole life is going to be turned upside down, starting tomorrow. So much could go wrong.
But then again, this is what I always wanted to do: Seeing the world, realising that there's so much more to life than what I know.
I'm finally leaving all the old stuff behind.
And maybe doubt and fear and all those head games are just part of the package deal.
And maybe it is just right to feel scared. I'd rather feel fear than nothing at all.
And I know that beyond that fear lies excitement and curiousity. From this point it's up to me to make the best of it.
This is my experience, my new life.
So let's get it started.
