The detective stands in the doorway, looking for me.

This is not some superficial operation, charade, or test.

This is not a drill. I repeat: This is NOT A DRILL.

Do I stand to win something with this hand.

Do I check, raise, fold, or....?

Nobody can decide for you, but you.

The streets of fear and anxiety eclipse me, and yet, here I stand.

What will be made of this interesting beauty. It’s December, and these feelings of fear and anxiety are to be faced, addressed, and processed. That’s how it seems to me, at least.

Very good stuff man. We do seem to reach that "check, raise, or fold" point, whether we are ready for it or not. The timer ticking in the background, the gun to your head. I feel that mine is 100% self induced, nobody hears that ticking but me @kafkanarchy84

Short but really sweetly done :)! I assume the one on the first pic is your son ;)?

It is good post!😃
It is the birth of @kafkanarchy84magazine! !

Good pic!!
The atmosphere changes♪

Stunning photos and poignantly beautiful words. Indeed fear and anxiety can hold us back, but it's how we process them that defines both who we are and what we learn from our lows. "it's always darkest before dawn" Thanks for sharing @kafkanarchy

Good day to you..
