Stuck

Living,  
yet not looking forward
just back and forth in thought; 
should I or should I not
set myself free
or 
live in complete dismay
stuck in this emotional sway.

Sometimes we put chains on ourselves. It's up to us to dust the shelves. You've asked the question, now here's the answer. Self doubt can eat you like a cancer. Peace. :)

Dear Ana, A question I have asked myself many times along the way on this journey called life. I believe everything in life happens for a reason and we are just where we are supposed to be at each moment...all part of life's lessons to be learned. bfn Lainie

A very emotive piece, sometimes it is easy to be caught in our thoughts. It is sad when they prevent us from living our now. Our now dissapears so quickly, it can become our regret if we don't attend to it.
