I feel like I'm always running on to the next thing that I never take the time to enjoy where I'm at.
I'm scared, really scared that if I stop to enjoy what I have right now, it'll go away. I find myself finding every excuse to disappear back into the nothing just so I don't have to get to that moment when it all falls apart.
And yet, I'm holding on knowing if I let myself slip just once, there is no coming back from the rabbit hole. Game over, with no continues.
I want to trust him, really, I do. I want to let him know how I feel instead of all this awkwardness, but every time I try something clogs my throat and I croak out, "I have to go now," and just like that, I'm gone away from him again.
I worry, too, that if I let him in, he'll think he can protect me from the darkness just like others before him. But no one, no one but myself and God can do that. And I don't want to be around to see the disappointment when he realizes that.
But maybe he does. Maybe he really is different from the others.
I'm scared. And all I want to do is keep running.
