I’m tired. All my life all I ever did was to meet the expectations. I stepped all over my heart just to not be a disappointment to those around me. Kicking and screaming I’ve learned the skills I needed to perform in the real world. There was nothing natural about that! So now I’m at the crossroads again. My logic says “Get things done. Be a grown up. Be strong!”. But I’m tired of compromising. I want to live! Let me live!

Since I can remember the concept of “second chances” resonated with me. I thought that maybe the books I’ve read and the movies I’ve seen were to blame for that, but no! This is from my design. My blueprint! I love the whole experience and the meaning of it, whether I’m involved in the story or not. I celebrate every moment from the process and I live it to its fullest. I yet have to learn how I can apply this in real life, but I know that it’s a treasure there, a key that unlocks destinies.

So I’m offering myself a second chance. The chance to match my life with my design. To be the person God made me to be. To finally be fully alive. So I put behind me all my fears and failures, and just dive right into this process. A second chance. I love that! I know it is painful and a lot of work, but all masterpieces take a lot of time and resources.

So meet me in the deepest ocean. I’ve reached the point of no return.

Full speed ahead!
