I’ve been living in my pond my entire life. Sure, there were other ponds that I visited. They were close by, but I could always return to my own. You could say, I lived in a community of ponds. It was comfortable, easy, and best of all, direction was given to me by everyone else that lived in the network of ponds.

I’ve just realized I’ve been living in my pond my entire life. The same pond. And it doesn’t fit me anymore. It’s time to get out and see what else is out there. I’m afraid of leaving. What if I never make it back? What if there’s no where else to go? Maybe that’s the point of life. To go out to different ponds and see what else is out there. It’s time.
