Phoenix.

Today was far from a normal day for me. I awoke to find a new sense of purpose. My mind racing with so many questions. I felt frightened, delirious, anxious all at once. It was just like Lang Leav described it to be;

"He swept in like a Tsunami, wave after wave and I didn't stand a chance."

I felt like I was hit with a Tsunami. I saw it coming but it did not make the impact less harrowing.  The damage has been done and there is no going back. I now stand in a pile of the destruction that I helped create. It is all around me and I do not even know where to begin. I guess the bright side is that it is a beginning. A scary scary beginning, I am not ready for. I feel as though I am a nestling learning to fly for the first time. 

I am not going to fix anything... I am going to rise from that destruction a stronger version of myself. I am a phoenix.
