Or your first start on the varsity basketball team, or your high school graduation. The feeling right before you do something that could be monumental, even definitive. There is nothing really standing in your way but time, a restless bed, and those small chances that something may go a rye. And no matter how slim, improbable, or just straight up impossible those chances may be, I still focus on them intently.
Those small things are what ruin my awesome day-dreams. Those little things are what completely turn my stomach when I am sitting in my math class thinking about things that could( and are likely to) be in my future.
The good part of this is the process of catharsis that happens when there is a success. ( My senior year english teacher would be so proud of me right now for using catharsis).
I fell a good sense of accomplishment in that process. It keeps me humble- because I am constantly thinking I am just barely scraping by. I would never say I am a perfectionist, because I settle plenty when it comes to some things. Not in this particular instance, but none the less, I do think I work hard to make things good, because I don't want to be that worst case scenario that always seems to be nipping at my heels.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I'm feeling excited- and its because things could go wrong, or they could go right. Either way, something is going to happen, and it excites me.
JAKE
