I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately -- that special kind of uncomfortable that comes from identifying that you no longer want to be where you are combined with the discomfort you feel when you start to push yourself to leave your (not so comfortable but familiar) comfort zone:
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
That's right. Leave it to Kelly Clarkson to get stuck on repeat in my mind, singing her cheesy version of my truth today:
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky

Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
