It’s time, high time, but I’m scared. I’m scared but ready to take the leap into unmarried life. I’m sad but happy we are both ready to step into our new lives soon.Yet, I’m scared. Change is scary and uncomfortable, but it’s far better than staying when it’s high time to leave. Life doesn’t wait. It keeps going faster and faster the older you get, and the longer you prolong relationships that no longer work, the less you will give yourself another chance to live another life. Any life.

Packing has always been hard for me, but packing to start my new life is even harder. I hope some day I will have it down and will pack lighter and lighter until there is nothing left to pack.

But I’m slowly packing, getting rid of layers and taking the essentials to enter my new life with little but precious belongings that will keep me company.

Yes, I’m scared but I can do this!

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fea, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid but he who conquers that fear.”
