The unknown
Some people want to see what is out there
Some examples:
Scientists
Astronauts
Marine biologists
But others are scared of the unknown
What if it is dangerous
What if we don’t like what is out there
I am one of these people
The unknown is terrifying
If something is fine the way it is then why try to change it
The unknown is unpredictable
What if something goes wrong and nothing will be the same again
The unknown is dangerous
And I am heading right towards it
“Why do we have to move here?”
I asked my mother who was driving the car
“Because it will be a better environment for you to grow up in.”
She replied while still looking at the road
We pulled up to the unknown
The school
“You will be fine honey.”
My mom tried to encourage me
It didn’t work
I got out and went into the unknown
I walked up to the school and opened the door
The unknown is terrifying
I was looking for my first class when a girl my age skipped over to me
“Hi!”
“Hey.”
“Are you new here?”
“Yeah, why.”
“You just looked like you needed a friend.”
Did I?
The unknown was suppose to be terrifying
It was supposed to be dangerous
“Ummm, yeah I guess I could go for a friend.”
“Great! My name is Emily.”
“My name is Ashley.”
After that the unknown didn’t look as scary
The unknown isn’t terrifying, it is new
The unknown isn’t dangerous, it is an opportunity to learn
The unknown isn’t unpredictable, it is exciting
The unknown is beautiful.
