the start of something is always the most hard. it takes courage to venture into the unknown darkness, a step towards something that is unfamiliar and new. i have never been afraid to thrust myself into that void, the fear of the unknown (while quite immense and always in my presence) has never outweighed my fear of regret. i have always reasoned that the regret of not having done something has always been greater than the risk of whatever consequences that may come. in my opinion failure is not an option, it is actually an eventuality. i am mortal, i have faults, i have weakness, i fear, i hate, i love, i live, and i will die. i do not fear death for i have determined that life is infinitesimally scarier than whatever judgment that i will face (if any) when i leave this earth. i know that i will fail at something (maybe everything) but i also know that i will continue to at least give life a chance. so i take that first step into the night, i allow the darkness to envelop my frame and i will walk towards my final destination. i know not the path that i will journey on, and i know not how long my journey may be, however i know that i have taken my first step.
