Decisions

I saw myself standing on the shore of an island with raging waters surrounding it. Every step I took towards the water the sand broke away and escaped me. "No turning back". I looked at the water crashing, rising, and seemingly defying all laws of nature. "step out". The sand continued to break away and sink into to the sea, my safe little island was becoming smaller. The ocean begged me "come in, immerse yourself.". "I'll float if I step off, right?" I fought back unexpected tears as I stepped onto the threshold of the ocean. It welcomed me in, and I stayed a float, losing my breath, but I didn't drown.
