Jump In: Embrace the Unknown

"Oh am I finally here!" I shouted in my head. But the elusive "here" begged for definition. I inhaled deeply, attempting to corral my wandering thoughts.

So, here I stand, at the threshold of my first webpage launch and debut blog post heralding my new life.

This marks the inception of my journey. I had visioned this moment for eternity. In my mind, it's been a monumental leap towards my great future, a rebirth from the ashes like a phoenix.

But wait, what. Now that I'm here. I wasn't sure about the magical new beginning I had imagined. Suddenly, I wasn't so sure of anything anymore. Have I truly arrived? Has rebirth already occurred? The answers remain unclear. I don't feel filled with overwhelming confidence.

Instead I feel like a vulnerable teenager starting a new high school. Fragile, shy, afraid, stepping into the unknown and casting a hopeful glance towards the heavens for guidance. And yet, I keep hearing Oscar Isaac's voice in my head: "When it feels scary to jump in, that is exactly when you jump. Otherwise, you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do."

I find myself in the midst of uncertainty, unshaken, with the feeling that I still have to jump. So, this is my jump. I welcome you to join me and follow what comes after it.
