Today I took my NCLEX exam. I spent an hour and a half racking my brain. The test was a lot harder than I expected. Unlike my peers I had a vast array of questions. And my test cut off at the minimum of 85 questions. I thought for sure I failed. I tried the re-registration “trick.” It turns out I passed. I am now officially a licensed practical nurse. All the years of prerequisites and the time I’ve been in the nursing program and I can finally call myself a nurse. I’m elated and in complete disbelief still. Sacrifice really does pay off. I can’t believe it.

A single crisp blank page. An entire secluded abyss that separates the chapters in my life. The divider that gives me choice. Am I brave enough to turn that page and see what’s to come? Pause for a moment in time to appreciate this God given lull. The first few chapters were so full of constant turmoil. Turn the page and continue reading inspite of the risk of greater damage. Or embrace this moment of peace like it is the last I’ll ever get? Perhaps mark this page, write my own bridge to the final chapters. Give myself a chance. Will this story end in happily ever after? Will I ever know if I don’t jump to take that risk? I write my bridge and free fall into the next portion of my story. God hates a coward and I live for adventure. The bridge consists of the most powerful three words that have ever existed in my story.
I forgive you.
And with the full realization of what that meant. I was set free.
