Realizations and Discoveries

Short, sweet, and to the point: I think I'm in love. And I say that not out of confusion, or misguidance... I say that out of sheer awe. I'm baffled, and almost speechless at this crazy path that my life has taken me. Seven years. Seven years of growing, and learning, and leaning, and solving, and laughter, and smiles, and glances, and now...love? Wow.
God works in mysterious ways.
And though I'm elated to have awakened and stirred this part of my soul... I'm terrified to see what's behind this newly discovered door. I'm scared of being vunerable to the things out of my power. I'm scared of opening the door just to find a void, cold, empty room in front of me. And in that...emptiness... I will make my home. I will live in the aftermath of my courage, and I will live alone.
Alone.
I'm scared of being alone.
But I'm more scared of living the rest of my life... being scared.
