I'm a sailor.

I know

my boat is safest

when it is nicely docked

away in the marina.

But that is not

the purpose

of a boat.

A boat should be used

to travel the seas.

Through stormy weather

through choppy waves

past treacherous rocks

to visit the islands

to have the sun

in your face

salty sea breeze

in your hair.

Likewise in life,

we have to step out

of our comfort zone.

It takes risks,

possible disappointments

and failures.

But no one

can take a new life path

without abandoning the old one.

I know singlehood

very well.

I know my way around

and I know my way out too
