Half Full/Half Empty

Optimism and pessimism can be a pain sometimes. I am naturally pessimistic about anything I do or my abilities (no confidence) and I am naturally optimistic about the future of anything or anyone (confidence) but my own. I get panic fits just thinking about whether should I be optimistic or pessimistic. Even worse is that I oscillate between one or the other and feeds back into the anxiety that I already hold and amplify it. It's hard to just see things objectively about the unknown. That the glass is just half. No mention of being empty or full. Just half.

I like it that way.

Waiting Game

It's not everyday that a once in a lifetime opportunity comes knocking at your door. Rarer still if you did absolutely nothing for that. Now it is at the final stage where I wait for a simple answer, yes or no. And when I stop and think about it, it is nothing short of amazing how on earth I got into this position. It was the smoothest process I've had to endure, many things that could have gotten wrong or the door slammed shut simply did not happen, yet. But whatever the outcome, that was one heck of a ride.

And so I wait.
