waiting for interviews is weird.
all made up, hair sprayed.
conscious effort put into my outfit.
mentally prepared.
strengths and skills reviewed.
then,
there are those few minutes
before the interview.
waiting, time suspended.
remembering to breathe.
trying not to sweat.
let’s just get this over with.
not so different from jumping waterfalls.
screwing up my courage.
i just want to hang onto the cliff wall,
take the easy way out.
but, no.
i have to put myself out there.
jump out
and over.
trusting that i’ll do what i need to do.
and it won’t last forever.
