The time is now.

on waiting too long to start

While she waits to find a stopping point 
to take her time
to breathe,
the moment ceases.

To make words linger longer than air,
she waits to find the perfect fit.
To feel inspired.

She sees words she thought were hers
show up in other people’s minds.

While she makes priority all the inauthentic things,
her sense of self sits on a shelf
collecting dust.

She adds more weight
to her belly and waist
and her mind 
is even heavier. 

The world she creates 
in a context she did not
will not wait for luck 

and spares not
the victims of 
“There is no time.”

The time is now.

The time is now.

Notes

What is the thing you won’t share aloud because it isn’t perfect yet? What is the thing you won’t do because it’s “not a good time” yet?

Here’s the lesson: Perfect timing isn’t real.

There is always going to be something, so you might as well start now.

What’s the first tiniest thing you could do to get started? Give yourself a due date and meet it. Then set another due date for the second step, meet it, and so on and so on until you find yourself where you want be.
