"Stop the world! I want to get off."

The other day I got to thinking about the steps I want to take to improve my working life. I need a new job. I’ve got all these dreams but I haven’t really done much to achieve them. I’ve been idly sitting, pointlessly working, and feeling empty all the while. I want to breathe some new air!

Now, I know that you must be thinking: “wow, he’s on his way!” At least I’ve made a decision to seek something bigger and live out those dreams, right? Well, no—not right at all. Because in spite of the realization, the anticipation to grasp what’s waiting for me, what I’ve been yearning for, I don’t know how to go about doing anything. I’m tied here and I can't help but wonder: how do I start the process of untangling the knots and strings?

This is why I’d like the world to stop so I can exit right on out. Drop me off now because I’m scared and the hyperventilating is killing me. I don’t think I’m strong enough to live outside the box, reach for the stars, jump off that cliff and fly. All these tacky cliché’s that’s supposed to encourage and inspire don’t really work for me. Instead, they burn my eyes and mock me. It really isn’t that simple.

M'ija. If there is ANYONE on this planet who is fierce, strong and determined, it's you! Change isn't easy but with paciencia y fe you can do anything you set your mind to! Reach for the moon, even if you fail you are among the stars! :D

Your right its very hard to jump off that cliff especially if you are afraid of heights... Well, just take it one day at a time and sometimes it just takes one moment to change your whole life. That one moment where you say "Enough is enough... I'm going to focus."

:) I'm waiting for that moment too lol
