Outside Your Element

“It is during the times I am far outside my element that I see and feel who I really am. I think that's what a comet is like, a comet is born in the outer realms of the universe. But it's only when it ventures close to earth that it releases the blazing "tail" behind it. That's why I enjoy hurling myself out into the unknown. Because it's during those scary moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate magnificently. I discover a smile I didn't know I had, I uncover a feeling that I didn't know existed in me, I see myself." '
