oneword: hill

as you stand at the bottom of this steep hill, you realize you are afraid. are you afraid of the steep hill, or is the steep hill your fear? is it the thing that is blocking you from where you want to be? are your hopes and dreams on the other side of the hill, or are they the hill? what are you so afraid of? failing, succeeding, or are you afraid that once you get what you want, by the time you get there, that you won't want it anymore because the journey there changed who you are forever? to be honest i am not sure what keeps me from taking he journey up the hill sometimes. maybe its sheer exhaustion from avoiding it.

The hill = fear. Nice metaphor.

if that's the sort of thing going on in your head, you MUST be exhausted.

cause, i mean, i'm tired from just having read that.

its a little tiring being inside my brain sometimes, even downright exhausting, and a little bit annoying too.
