THE COURAGE TO BEGIN

There is a specific sadness that comes before leaving. Not the sadness of loss. You haven't lost anything yet. it is quieter than that. it is the feeling of standing in a life that is good, that has always been good, and knowing something in you will not let it be enough. and hating yourself, a little, for knowing it.

You wait for courage to arrive. you imagine it as a feeling — a morning of clarity, a sudden certainty, the fear lifting long enough for you to move. but courage does not come like that. it does not announce itself or remove the doubt or make the unknown look any less unknown.

It just sits with you in the room. quietly. until you are more tired of waiting than you are afraid of leaving.

And one morning the sadness shifts into something else. Not courage exactly, not certainty, just a quiet exhaustion with your own hesitation. and you understand that you were never going to feel ready that the only way through the door is to stop waiting for the feeling that never arrives and simply go.

This piece captures the space between staying and leaving. Between safety and possibility. It is not about the destination waiting beyond the threshold, but about the quiet courage required to take the first step.

The wild beyond the doorway is left undefined because every dream begins differently. What lies outside is yours to imagine.
