"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." (Yes, that is from A Cinderella Story.)

I'm constantly standing at the edge, waiting.

"Leap, already!" I hear myself saying.

I can't.

Why? What am I waiting for?

The courage to close my eyes and finally take that leap.

But I'm always afraid. I fear for what will happen once I let go. Is it always this difficult? I wonder. I pace. I think. I overanalyze. It shouldn't be this hard. It should be easier than this.

I've never been a big risk taker because I find myself constantly regretting the things that I do (even though most things really aren't that regrettable, now that I think about it). I admire the people who are the go-getters; the ones who know that this is one life with once in a lifetime opportunities. That's the glory of it, isn't it? To be able to live a life without regret because those mistakes, those mishaps, those missteps--it makes you stronger, it builds your character, it makes you better for it. So then why is it so difficult to be that way? It sounds so appealing, so inspirational almost.

I don't know. Maybe it's just my late night ponderings. Or maybe work is getting to me because I find myself hitting that snooze button more and more each day. But for sure, this song is how I'm feeling at the moment.
