<p class="MsoNormal"><strong> Once upon a time there was this little girl by the name of ICU.<span> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ICU was very empathic, but she didnt know it till she grew up.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ICU wanted something really badly, she had this wish all of her childhood and it somehow didnt come true.<span> </span>Her wish couldnt come true because it was really a wish that she could only fulfill when she grew up, but she wished for it all her life.<span> </span> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>It was such a strong wish and it meant so much to her.<span> </span>She had to go through so many things in her life and she still had this wish in the back of her mind or shall I say she still wanted what she wanted.<span> </span>I dont know if she ever believed if she would achieve it, but she still wished for her wish to come true. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>One day, her wish came true and she got to have what she really wanted, but it didnt work out in the end because other components in her life didnt match so she would have starved and she didnt really want to starve.<span> </span>So after she finally had her wish come true she had to let it go again and move on and do other things in her life. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Then she kept wishing and wishing for that same dream to come true again and somehow fit finally.<span> </span>Well time passed and she was no longer a little girl, nor a young girl anymore she was getting close to mid-life and even older than that, but she still had this vision and this wish of hers to come true and she had tried so many times but, the outer circumstances never fit.<span> </span>There was never a way to fulfill her wish and she felt sad about that. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>She got offered her wish so many times and many other times she was rejected.<span> </span>She did have chances though. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Finally, one day her dream came true again, but as she was living this dream – the dream was like a steep mountain that no matter how much she did she couldnt climb the moutain.<span> </span>She fell down the mountain a little bit.<span> </span>She took a few steps and then she fell again and finally she was told look you have to stay right here – you cannot go any further.<span> </span>Just stay put, you can only stay right here. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Then suddenly all these tasks to do took place and she had to climb this mountain again to keep up, but it was exhausting, she was working non-stop 24/7 at trying to stay above water.<span> </span>The strings were tied even tighter with more things to do and finally the little girl that was now an adult got sick.<span> </span> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>When she got sick – she contemplated alot and she thought something is not right.<span> </span>It seems like my dream is not really a dream anymore – I am fighting, I am struggling she thought to herself and the pace is faster than I can keep up.<span> </span>She decided to find ways to change her life, she recuped and went back to her dream place which was no longer<span> </span>her dream, but only alot of work, tasks and a nightmare. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Then she fell sick again and this continued two years straight.<span> </span> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>She finally decided now there has to be another change within other changes and the change she wanted was rejected.<span> </span>She explained I feel like I am drowning and falling off the cliff without this change I cannot do anymore.<span> </span>ICUs wish was rejected, declined and she walked away feeling horrible, defeated and energyless.<span> </span>She totally lost all her power and all her energy to fight to go uphill cause it was a fight and she was fighting and struggling for years and that was the truth.<span> </span>She did have a vision, but this time the vision was gone cause she was trapped.<span> </span>She tried hard and worked so hard and wanted to succeed, but one day she just fell totally apart and practically flat on her face, but noone listened anymore.<span> </span>Noone wanted to budge nor help in some sort of fashion.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>When her request for a change was declined – she was devastated and couldnt anymore.<span> </span>She wanted to cry, but the tears didnt come out. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ICU had finally reached her dream, but it wasnt working out.<span> </span>She couldnt handle it and the time came to give it all up.<span> </span>She felt like a little girl again and was told to take a leap of faith, take a leap of hope, take the leap off the cliff and let go. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Let it all go, leave it behind you.<span> </span>Just jump into the unknown.<span> </span>Jump off the cliff.<span> </span>She was learning in every moment she had to relax.<span> </span>She had to trust – she had to take a leap of faith and most of all she had to say goodbye to the place that once was a dream that she worked so hard for that no longer suffice nor existed really as the dream cause the real part of it was only exhausting. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>She had to jump, she had to leap, she had to jump off this cliff and hope she didnt fall and she had to trust and that was so hard for her to do as she was trying to let go of the past, but she didnt have a choice she couldnt struggle up that hill anymore. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Struggling took more energy out of her, she just couldnt anymore and she had to face the facts which were so hard. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>It was time to go.<span> </span> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ICU had so many abilities to see things before they would happen. </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ICU let go and jumped off the cliff and all went well again!! </strong></p>
