Everyone has a story.

Every story has to be told.

We want our stories to be perfect.

But we don't know how to make that happen.

I want my story to be good.

I want my story to be filled with laughter.

And adventure.

And life.

I don't know how to write my story.

I don't know where to start.

My story is writing itself while I'm still sharpening the pencil.

I need to let go.

Let myself fall into the pages.

But I'm scared.

It's hard to relinquish control.

Hard to understand that my thoughts are the letters.

My actions, the words.

I have to let them flow out of me.

Sometimes they don't go where I want them to go.

Sometimes I worry that my story will be the same as everyone else's.

Nothing new.

No originality.

I want the adventure.

I want to see the world.

I want my story to fill me up.

To keep me on life's high.

I want to live my story.
