THE VOICE

There it is again.

That familiar voice in my head,

Telling me I can’t, I shouldn’t, I don’t know how…

The voice that says,

I’m not educated enough.

It’s not a good ‘fit’ for me.

I’m too old.

It’s too late.

Nobody would approve.

It’s irresponsible.

I might look silly.

It’s probably right, that voice.

After all, the timing is ALL wrong.

Ya.

Maybe I’ll think about it again next month, when my plate is ‘less full’.

Or next year when I’m healthier,

Or happier,

Or less stressed.

Or more settled.

Maybe it’s better if I just tuck that thought away again,

And THINK about thinking about it sometime in the future….

After all, that voice sounds pretty confident…

I better listen to it.

Again.
