a beginning
the start of something
first day of school
and all that jazz

any new thing is nerve-wracking
is terror-inducing
is scary

even when excitement overwhelms
even when it’s likely to be all good
there’s still a bit of the self that goes
‘EEK!’

so here’s to going in with no predisposed notions
no expectations, just the feelings that i’m feeling
and a hope to stay in the moment
and take all that will happen
as it all happens

[it’s a super neat project
and i’m super stoked about the point and purpose of it all
and if everything goes to heck in a handbasket, which is doubtful
but i suppose always possible, i can always remind myself
it is just
one
week]
