You're Never Fully Prepared

You're never fully prepared to ever make a life change that takes you away from your family and friends, half way across the world. You're never fully prepared for the moment of realization that you are not the strong, independent person you thought you were. You're never fully prepared to take a jump, off a rock, high above a mountain creek into, what looks like a maybe deep-enough pool below. You're never fully prepared but you go anyway, you get on that plane, you stand in those lines and you tell yourself that everything is fine. everything that you forgot, you don't need, all the things left undone can wait and all the things left unsaid can still be said you jump off that rock, even if it takes you 45 minutes to work up the nerve, and even if 10 minutes before you were mocking the person who went before you for having like 6 vaginas for not jumping immediately damn I'm poetic when I'm scared out of my natural self! I apologize to all the people who read this, I really am insufferable. Enjoy
