WHAT THE F? 17 DAYS??? OHGGEEEOHHGGEEEEOHGGEEEEOHEMGEEEGAWDGAWDGAWD.
Yes, that's the sound (words) of panic!
I'm really... really.. SAD!
I just felt it yesterday. You know, I've realized, that things are going to be just fine and lives will continue to have fun with or without me. In this case, without me. Things will just go on. Everyone will continue with their lives and people will be okay and be just fine without me, and there's always "It's still the same without her" because yes, sometimes I just have to suck it up because It's gonna be the same without me. World will still spin and Clouds will still float.
The world will go on without me. That's selfish. I know. I don't want to stop anyone because I'm gone. Oh I don't. How do I still live knowing that maybe one day, people will stop missing me? People will stop saying hi to me, saying "Haven't heard of you, busy?" and things will develop in two years. Two, effing, YEARS.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN MY BACK IN TWO EFFING YEARS?
That's right. Maybe I'm one control freak, or maybe I'm one crazy girl who can't let go, who can't accept that things are going on, with or without me. That things are bound to change, every second, let alone two years. Maybe I'm the kind of girl who wants to know what's going on in everyone's life. Why? Why do I suddenly feel this way? Maybe, again, maybe, because it's in me. Also maybe this parting and goodbye is not for me. Maybe because I'm scared. Maybe because... I don't want things to change, not where I can't see them. Maybe one day when I come back I'll freak out that some people could already forget about me, or a few people could hate me, or that a few acquaintances are dead without me notified.
How am I going to watch that, sitting there alone, let it just flash through my eyes like the movies in fast forward, by the pictures on facebook? There also could be time where I'm locked out of the pictures. I wouldn't be able to see what's happening in everyone's lives anymore..
Yes, I'm afraid of change. So is a whole lot of people out there. I see those people in the movies that's afraid of change. They don't know what's coming to them or if their decision for this change is right. The major change. The turns of their lives. The parting roads of their journey. It's happening to me. It's going to be my turn now. All those time I thought, why is a change so bad? What is it about change that made people freak? Because all this time, almost all of the changes I've had are good changes, the changes that are clear, the bright vision of what it leads me or offer me to. This time, it's almost as if I'm stepping into the end of a giant cliff. It's either stay safe, or jump to the other side of the cliff and see what's behind that thick fog. There wasn't a thick fog in front of me almost every other times. Even if there is a fog, it's not as thick. I don't even know if I'll make it alive if I jump into the fog. Even if I do make it, I don't know what's waiting for me. Is it a slow flowing river with flowerbeds and honey on trees, with bunnies hopping and Birds chirping, or is it a rapid Lava mountain with evil witch with pet Leopards crossbreeding with Crocodiles, sharp fangs and poisonous claws?
This is genuine risk taking. Of course, as everyone would say, I have a bunch of options and choices. How do I take the right one is up to me. How do I visualize what's behind that thick fog is in my mind. How I take on whatever is waiting for me is also, up to me. Maybe I don't have to take that chance. Notice the song, "Taking Chances" It is a perfectly fitted song for a whole lot of conditions, and one of them is this.
"What do you say, to taking chances?
What do you say, to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below..
or hand to hold...
or hell to pay?"
In this case, tickets have been issued. Clothes are starting to be packed in the huge suitcase. Preparations are being bought and planned. Midnight sales have been utilized (WTH?) So this is it. There are a whole lots of choices and options that I can choose for myself, but I'll take the chances. I'll take the risk. I don't know if it's for the best, but it's what I want. I want this more, more than staying here and just being in the 'comfort zone' where no other things can hurt me, but I may never get the same chance or experience and a taste of what's outside the comfort zone, or like in Madagascar 2, outside the Reserve. outside the fence that keep us all save.
and as Alex from Madagascar said, "I've been off reserve. and I survived!" or something similar than that. So there is, of course, a chance that I am going to a place where I'll never expect. Where maybe, in a lot of cases, BEYOND expectations. or...WORSE. or WORST. Lots of things can happen in two years when I finally jump off that cliff. Lots of things, too, will happen to ME when I jump off that cliff. Almost everyone will ask the same question (or similar):
"What if...?"
"What if I don't make it?" "What if I made the wrong decision?" "What if there are leopard crossbreed with crocodile ready to eat me alive when I jump?"
but I'll take the chances, and I'll start changing those negative 'What if's' to:
"What if there are flowers and blue sky there?" "What if this is a once in a lifetime, never again, beautiful opportunity?" "What if there are multiple shimmering experiences and gold waiting on the other side to be claimed?"
So there you go.
If I saw McCain shaking his ass on TV, I'd fall off a treadmill too. >.>
