It's the wariness you have right before you write something in a brand new notebook. It's that feeling you get - that tingling - right before you jump from somewhere very high.
"You shouldn't do this. This could go wrong. But go for it anyway.
You want this, and you need this."
You want this, and you need this."
Because I do find blank sheets of paper intimidating. I'm really scared of the next year. 2014 feels like it came too soon. But in reality, I know that I've just been too late in preparing for the transition.

They may not look like it, but they're all actually very personal and specific. I'm scared. But let's start January with a smile and a hard shoulder. Work hard and play hard - that's my motto for 2014. Not everything must be fun or easy. Enjoy the things that are, and make a challenge of things that aren't. Every steep step is one step closer to the top. Every day, every tiny distance that's covered - no matter how small - is a step in the right direction: forward. Good luck. xo
