A Scary Story

Climbing up these dark stairs, its only you and one bright flashlight in your hands. Where you just left it was well lit with a crowd of people. But everyone was just sitting there, nobody wanted to go to the top of the staircase. You’ve been hearing and seeing so much about what goes on up there. But everyone around you keeps saying that you can’t go up there because its too hard to climb those steep stairs. But you just are too determined to reach it. You feel like you belong up there even though the walk is a bit scary and hard to climb. The walk seems so long and there’s so many cracks in the steps. You keep hearing all these horrifying whispers that are telling you to go back down to the bottom of the steps. But the light is so bright at the top you just want to hurry and get up there. Everybody downstairs keeps pulling your legs trying to bring you down there with them because they are too scared to make that climb up. Don’t let them frighten you keep going up. I know how scary, lonely and dark the walk is going up. The screams and pulls from below are heavy but safer. But you’ve gone too far up to go back down. You’d be surprised to know that the most ambitious people are more full of doubts than others are. They just are more determined than others to reach a certain goal. That doesn’t mean that their journey isn’t scary. Aside from the naysayers and haters around that don’t want you to succeed. The most chilling of the climb up are the doubts. Those big blood-curling doubts that jump up at you every now and then. Trying to push you back down. Filling you with the thoughts that maybe your goals are just too high. That what you’re trying to achieve is unachievable. That maybe you should set your standards a little lower. Don’t allow doubts to haunt you from getting up to that next level of the staircase.
