If you had one shot to get it right…

If you had one shot to get everything that you wanted and needed in life, would you take it? This one shot defining the way you live out the rest of your days, this one shot that could either make it all or take it all away. I find myself in this particular situation, I see that one shot that I could take, that one target that I have been setting up to hit all of my life. Yet I hesitate to take that shot now, I hesitate because I am afraid, I am afraid to take that huge gamble with my life. It is a gamble that I am not willing to take right at this moment, but anytime soon I will be. I sit there with the gun we call life, and the bullet I call my life, aiming at the target that is my goal in life. I sit there on that shooting bench, my heart racing to an ever increasing rate, my aim turns unsteady, my respiration rapidly increases. Yet there is someone beside me to help me though that one shot that I have, that person would be my boyfriend, and my mate in life. He sits beside me, as I sat beside him along the rough times of his life. As he went through this tough time of his life, I was standing right there beside him, a never failing companion, and mate.

We find ourselves both in the same situation, the situation where we both have one shot to get it right, and we both sit side by side, our rifles at the ready, aiming at our goals which happens to be the same exact target. Yet we both hesitate, we both hesitate because our aim is not steady, our hands slick with sweat, our muscles shaking unwillingly, making our aim untrue. So we take a break form this immense task that lies before us, and spend our time together, reassuring ourselves that we can both take this one shot at life. I know that me and him are ready to take this shot soon, but deep in my heart I am scared, and I am pretty sure that he is scared too. If we are together, we can both conquer this huge wall of fear that lies before us together.
