Tick Tock

Tick Tock
Tick tock

That's the sound I hear, every time I debate changing something.
That's the sound I hear when I wonder if the work I'm doing is enough
It's the sound I hear when I wonder how I can make a bigger, better impact
It's the sound I hear when I question my purpose and abilities

Tick Tock…Tick Tock…Tick Tock.

Over and over, I hear that same sound.
Am I ready for a car?
A house?
A family?
Tick Tock. 

Will I ever be?
Tick Tock, the clock on my life is moving forward
Tick Tock
             But am I?
Stuck in place, momentum fading, passion hiding
Tick Tock, faster goes the clock
How long do I have?
Can I make the leap?
Do I have time to make the change I so desire?

Tick tock
Tick tock

Beyond the constraints of what society tells me
Beyond the realm of my own belief in myself
My passion awaits
My soul awaits

Tick tock…tick tock..tick tock

Will I jump? Leave safety behind in pursuit of what I crave?

Tick tock.
Time is running out.
Tick tock.
Pressure is present.
Tick tock.
But wait.
Tick tock.
Pressure from who? Society? Why must I have it figured out now? Maybe the clock doesn't actually exist.
Tick tock.
Am I the creator of my own clock?
Tick. Tock.

Consistently Inconsistent

 I've certainly proven that I'm unable to regularly journal or blog. That I'm pulled to write when things are bad or awry or beyond my control, but rarely in a time where I feel joy, happiness or am at peace with things. We all know I'm here, journaling again, because I'm in my head. Feeling. Reflecting. Likely overthinking. As to be expected - consistently inconsistent.  I've been pushing myself for months now. Focusing on doing more, achieving more, earning more, finding more....always more . And I am so t i r e d. Somewhere along the way of trying to redefine myself and achieve goals I had set for myself, I lost sight of why I was doing things. What was motivating me. Why I set these goals.

Moving Forward

New year, new goals. For so many of us, our goals or 'resolutions' created every new year quickly dissipate.  I'm not sure if it lack of focus, lack of time, lack of determination or simply slacking.  It doesn't truly matter why so many of us cannot follow through on our goals, at least that isn't my point.  My point is that many of us enter every new year with a new goal, a new outlook...striving for improvement, for change. And for once, I'm excited. I'm not going to rehash my 2012 year for you- it was the standard ups and downs and you all can relate in your own way.  Rather I want to focus on the future.  One of my biggest goals is to conquer my anxiety and kick it to the curb.  I am so tired of it controlling many aspects of my life.  I want to live again.  I want to stop the doubt, the fear, the uncertainty, and the worrying.  The past 4 and a half months have been eye opening for me, and I feel like I've already come so far.  I...
