You are allowed to start  
without knowing where you're going.

You are allowed to leave  
without a better reason than  
it was time.

You are allowed to become someone  
your old self wouldn't recognise —  
that's not betrayal.  
That's the whole point.

You are allowed to be uncertain  
and still move.  
Uncertain and still hopeful.  
Uncertain and still here,

which is,  
if you think about it,  
exactly how every good thing  
has ever begun.
