It feels like standing on top of a cliff over a lake
You climbed up with every intent to jump but you look over the edge and your stomach drops and it's really really scary. You take quick steps towards the edge, like a running start, but you were too slow and you thought about it too much so your stomach drops again. So you just stand there looking at the water, doubting your decision to climb up there in the first place. MAYBE YOU CAN'T EVEN SWIM. Wondering if maybe it would just be easier to climb back down. But you know if you do that you'll regret it. But even with this in your head the jump isn't easier. At least not yet. You stand at the top of the cliff with everyone watching, trying to build up your courage to jump, but you're still just looking over the edge.
