bye bye birdy

It's all in a game of baseball.

With curve balls being pitched almost every waking moment. 

Sometimes, you are ready to take the hit, but others' may be sending you back on the bench with no sense of progression, talent, energy or thrill. 

Today, I found myself facing the game (life) with a curve ball. 

But this time I was ready.

 I was ready to knock it out of the park and see it leave my sight,

 always and forever. 

Was I terrified to have it come? Absolutely.

Was I unsure if I had the confidence and strength to take the hit? You know it. 

But I did it, and you know what, it has been the best feeling to see it leave. 

To see it go high up in that distant sky and never return. 

It took me a while to find the strength. 

To find the courage, the confidence and the dignity to let myself face that chance. That mysterious chance of not knowing whether or not I would strike out. Anxiety overpowered my thoughts, my actions and emotions, 

but what I discovered was surreal. 

I discovered that I am and always will be the bigger person. 

The bigger person that will ultimately carry my own actions, thoughts, and consequences of my decisions for the better. That person who now has the confidence to face anyone of those curve balls, to be willing to stand infront of the crowd and take those chances of failure or success because I am not afraid to face the game. Even if I have to face it alone. 

So get ready, for whenever life decides to throw a curve ball my way, it better be ready because i will be hitting home-runs from here on out.
