The Unknown

What is your response to something new? Excitement? Wonder? Does your heart pump faster and harder? Do you feel alive? I get that. I understand that. I am starting a new adventure, though. And I find myself afraid. Suddenly, growing up is a lot less appealing. It's funny how I want a degree of freedom but also security. I want to wander in a safe, mild environment. Yet I know I cannot do that forever. I think we all have a deadline which marks our entrance into productive society. Mine has been set, more or less. And if I didn't walk this pathway, I would still need to find a niche. It seems that every niche has its own demons.
