My Glass




So now it is real. I jumped in, and now I have to follow through. I was accepted into the college I wanted got the acceptance letter a few days ago… and grant coming my way.

I have applied for a few scholarships and the silliest thing is..I have to write a 500 word essay on why I want and need this scholarship, and go into the field of nursing…and I go blank. Me..the writer…blank…I got zip.

Parts of me are in complete denial. I don’t want to feel the burn of 16 hour days again. I did it before, full time work and school and the exhaustion was intense. I had a friend ask me..can you do it. My reply..I HAVE to try.

Why do I have to try Heidi..what is it that motivates you to keep going, feeling like your glass is always half full, and you are always thirsty.

What is that I want more feeling..i need more feeling..i cant settle feeling…

Blank.

"Why do you have to try Heidi?"

Because.



Need something a little more tangible? You've always wanted to do this and have been held back by circumstances. No you're being supported by circumstances and the time that had been drawing nigh is now here. Those circumstances and their stability and support aren't going to change. The door is wide open and the path is clear and unobstructed- and it's calling out to you. You obviously hear the call =0) This is only a little of why you have to try. As for yourself, we both know you will never be able to live with the unknown of not exploring that path.

Do it, try it..if it doesn't work..except it as another one of life wrong choices. Otherwise you may have to live with the constant thought of 'what if' every night when you hit your pillow Heidi.
