Tunnel Vision


Sometimes it's so hard to see past the bend in the road that you are in fear of taking. It seems that life is packed with blind turns that scare us to death. In my life, the turns aren't the problem, it's looking at them. They scare me so bad that I sometimes don't even take them that well, or at all. But our past usually proves that the turns are the most enjoyable parts. No one enjoys the straight-aways that take forever and nothing exciting ever happens. I think it's high time I accelerate and enjoy the speed of each turn, no matter how much it hurts to take them, or how much it will cost me. 

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it no matter what." Harper Lee, 'To Kill A Mockingbird'
