It's hard to explain how wrong I was about everything.
How it all seemed so dire; that violence and bad intent were lurking within everyone & around each corner.
I don't want to waste time with regret now that I'm present with everyone else; but I wish I could've understood sooner. There was so much I thought impossible that was far closer to my reach than I ever could've imagined.
So much love, missed & so much pain, caused; all as a result of my fear.
The time to live is now. It always was.
