Always do what you are afraid to do.

The title is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I never knew the guy personally, but what it says is what I have been ALWAYS afraid to do. I am late to the game in everything I do. I don't risk anything... ever. I live in my non-changing box, my rut so deep I hang posters in it. I know what I have to risk... what I have to change, yet I am frozen to do so.
In this past year, I was married and divorced in a span of a year. I started to let go of my writing this past year... and each day it scares me more. I need to do this, I must do this.
To change. To risk. To live.
This year of 2009, has to be better... has to be for me, and what I need. I need to get on a writing schedule, no matter what. I need to spend time on me, and things that make me better. I need to find friends, and stop being a hermit. I feel like I don't belong... anywhere.
To change. To risk. To live.
Good luck, man. Here's hoping 2009 is better for all of us :)
