Working Progress

This particular entry is titled working progress because that is exactly what it has been, spending the past month sitting on my desktop in a constant stage of editing. I have not posted it until now because I never felt like it was quite done, what I realized is that this particular piece of writing will never fully be done. Which happens to be the entire point, for me this part of my life will continue to remain just that, a working progress.

I feel empowered when I consider the title of my blog, A Time to Soar. I want to share with you what those few simple words strung together truly mean to me. I have repeatedly heard myself use the analogy to either sink or swim. Most likely because that is exactly how the past few years of my life have felt, drastically fighting against the grain of who I am and who I wish to be, reminding myself that I can either chose to sink or to swim. I kept choosing to swim, to move my body just enough, inhale when needed and push a little harder in order to somehow manage to keep afloat. As time past my body grew tired of simply staying alive, surviving quietly under the radar, wadding in an ocean of fear and self doubt, resulting in my search for more. I wanted to succeed, and within my success to be able to consider myself both brave and strong. This for me is what comes after swimming, this for me is that point in my life when I decided it was finally time to lift out of the water and to allow myself to sore. So with a new set of wings I am entering my world fully immersed, responsible for my actions, no longer afraid of what others may think, leaving it all on the table and hopefully being able to inspire a few others along the way.
