9:20 in the morning.
Hot coffee.
Cat in the window.
Thinking.
I tend to overthink.
Which usually means…
I hesitate.
I hold myself back from risks.
But there was one time I didn’t.
Going back to school in 2015.
I was older.
Working 10-hour days.
Still decided to go full-time.
It was hard as hell.
But I didn’t hesitate.
And I don’t regret it.
Not just because of the degree.
Because of what it gave me.
Structure.
A system.
A way to work through something over time.
Something I can use now…
in everything else.
Looking back…
it wasn’t just a risk.
It was the moment I stopped waiting.
