Going

It is a tremendous act of violence to begin anything. I am not able to begin. I simply skip what should be the beginning.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Often when I have to go on a trip - mainly a work trip - I get a lot of anxiety before I leave. Most of the time, once I get there, I'm fine. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. Leslie said that maybe it's some leftover stuff from the pandemic. I know I like my house and the creatures that live there, so I know leaving them is not something I look forward to. It could be the pandemic thing. It could be because I'm so introverted. 

Anyway, I'd better get going, or I'll be late.

But what if I just skipped..?
