Never About Leaving Myself

Peeking beyond what keeps me concentrated,
Reaching further to what I already know.
Tentative of what they will see,
I question leaving what’s safe for myself.
I'm stepping out to discover more,
But reaching out requires leaving behind what I know.
How do I make this about me instead of them?
How do I change without conforming?
New light blinds, even for a moment,
The ground’s unsteady as I find new footing.
I am on my own in the choices I make,
Joining them is never about leaving myself.
Have you ever wanted to join a group but feared you might lose who you are in joining? You must have felt the urge to advance yourself and curiosity to try something new. You are peeking beyond your comfort and possibly toward something you know but don't yet realize. Uncertainty will cause thought about what others see and you question if it's safe. Come back to yourself to determine why you want to discover more and acknowledge what you may need to leave behind. Try to remember that what you choose is for yourself and not anyone else. Review what you can change without compromising yourself. What is new will blind you momentarily and you will feel unsteady until you accept where you are. You are alone in the personal choices you make because you are an individual and joining other people is never about leaving yourself. Enjoy learning from others to grow more into yourself.
