Sometimes I feel stuck in the middle.

As in constantly balancing on a long plank between two ships. Do I tip-toe to the ship full of pirates and adventures? Throwing caution to the wind and holding no regrets. Or, do I stroll to the ship where life is steady and a routine feels sexy?

My personality is of the committed type. If I say I am going to do something, honor something, or show up for something, I’m your gal. But I’m slowly discovering there is a curse of sorts when it’s comes to being committed.

You are either all in, or never in.
