Im not there yet

i am so intirely held back in my life by things that i want to do. i ask myself every stinken day why i havent sent my book to the publishing company. and i can come up with some pretty darn good reasons. mostly because i dont know how and that i am not sure if i need to have it illistrated before i send it in. BUT how can that really hold me back for so long. i mean, its been a long time. i had it written months ago. now i am in a stand still. this is what i do. i have dreams, i have big fat dreams. i start them, and i never finish them. i will get as far as it is until its just in arms reach and then stop. i have had 19 jobs. i hate being bored. i will back up my reasoning in having 19 jobs easily. i dont think any one should be bored at there job. and if its just minimum wage jobs...who really cares if you bounce around within them? so, here i am..my cute little book is written. and i am scared outta my pants to turn it in? i know that the reason i so easily barf up isnt the real reason. their is something seriously going on inside of me. my heart and my mind are all messed up. i cant find the true answer. i really need to believe in myself...well,, i guess i do. ultimately, yes, i do. i know that one day i will love what i do for a living and that i will be living out these things that i am so passionate about. but there is this hurdle. and i think it actually may be a little higher than the hurdles that you jump over around the track in highschool. i think it is about as high as those mountains in aspen (which one day i will ski down) i have full confidence that the Lord will deliver me from them. this will be monumental for me. i feel like once this mountain is down, then nothing will stand in my way. not one little thing. i know that this complex that i have will always ya know...maybe be alluring to me and try to suck me back in. but i feel like once i conquer it one time. i will never let it trick me agian. well, lately i thought that i have been doing really well. i mean, last month i made the final edits to my book and i was so pumped and just ready as ever to send it in...but here i am, just not there. im not there yet. im not there yet emotionally to know that i am ok in my failiers. i feel like i am set back by thinking that what i can do physically defines my worth, and guys....i dont have many succeses physically. and i know this isnt how the Lord would want me to think! but how hard is it to think otherwise? when the world esteems scholors and doctors money so much higher above the others. i want my heart to drive my life. and im not saying that scholors and doctors and the like are living there life in any other way....but i can tell you, that i sure will not be a scholor. and i hate that i feel so frowned upon because of it. i wanna write. i wanna be the best wife that i can be. and i wanna reach out to the youth in whatever community that i live in. so let me! i feel like that isnt aprooved of. i am so shackeled from what i want to be by this label that people want me to wear. i just want to move away. meet new people and risk it all. my father really messed me up. there are so many people out there with dads like mine, some even worse, and i want to encourage them and tell them how loved they are and that they can do anything they want and become whatever they want...but i know that i will never be able to do that if i first dont believe it for myself. this all makes me see that i am the only one standing in the way from becoming everything that i want to be. just how do i get out of the way? im 24 now. how much longer till i get there?

Listen YOU...

Turn that book in. NOW. Really. I will still love you if it doesn't get published tomorrow. Or for five more years. There are thousands of publishers. THOUSANDS. Get crackin girl. Just send out 100 copies and if nobody likes it but me I promise I will pat your back while you cry. Then you can get up and send out 100 more. For now... I'm here to lick as many envelopes as it takes. And we all know we've both got time for that!

But you have to drive this train. This is your baby. Set her free.

See you tonight!
