#innermusing

Do you ever have this feeling, this inner burn trapped deep inside your soul, this yearning to want more. It’s like a sucker punch that hits you in the gut when everything is still around and you just think “I want to see more, be more, have more.” Something, anything triggers that burn to pick your stuff, walk out the door and be swept away by the mystery and unknown swirling outside. It’s scary, frightening- chance is. A blank canvas where your future is not laid out, but just a thousand possibilities dancing in the wind. But that fear of the unknown, the fear of change, the fear of failing, the fear of disappointment if you don’t take the safe route- conventional route; are what hold you captive. But that burn that simmers in your souls burn hotter, thicker, heaver.

They say don’t play with fire, the flickering flames will burn; however, that chance you took just to touch that flame is like a piece of your souls would be free from its chains. That feeling alone, that flicker of peace- of freedom that grazes your skin from that one single moment, is enough the keep that fire burning.

The goal itself it to just take a chance, to live your future for yourself and not for someone else’s. But taking that first step is the hardest and however much you try and simmer that yearning you feel, there will always be a fire inside that will burn hot.
