Today, I made a choice to be my very own person, at whatever the cost. I can't lose my edge. My daddy has always used the word "sassy" to describe me. A great lawyer whom I professionally admire told me I am "full of piss and vinegar," and that's why I would make a good lawyer. Sometimes being with someone means compromising to a fault; to avoid conflict; to avoid drama.
Today, I decided-
I can never lose my edge.
My FIERCE...
My FIERY...
My PASSIONATE...
My SHARP-
Edge.
Teetering though I do on the edge of the abyss, I go between restless and apathetic, passionate and then lack of motivation. It's easy to let the system kick you down.
But, NO.
The edge of the abyss is where I get my edge. It's a precarious balancing act, but worth its weight in gold. I wager everything I own on it. That edge does not compose me; I compose it. I'm safeguarding it better this time.
Fortunately, nothing is irreversible.
Moving forward, I know that I could lose and find myself ten times in the same week.
But, what next?
You'll have to check back in and find out.
