  1. I stepped onto the platform and felt the heaviness in the soles of my shoes weighing myself down. I nervously swallowed the boulder-sized lump that had gradually formed in my throat just before I was to go on. I walked up to the podium and squinted before the large crowd. I was shaking internally, but I was ready. “Thank you, it’s been such an honor,” I said.

  5. One step at a time, my friend. Just take things one step at a time. There is no hurry – we all get where we are supposed to be going eventually. We seldom miss anything along the way, if we pay attention.

  9. She stepped forward, her step echoing through the hall. She didn’t know where she was, nor did she know why she was there. She simply knew, that she had to step forward, to forge ahead to create a path through the darkness that is the hallway that she stood in, and to do that, she had to step forward into the unknown.

  10. I will take a step in the right direction, I will follow my heart. I have already taken the first step – catharsis. I let her know I loved her. I will follow this path or whatever path she is on as long as she is happy with me there. This step won’t be the last.

  11. stepping away from the mess on the floor was the only thing he could do

  14. Step by step was a tv show and it’s also the name of a New Kids on the Block song, and that’s because it’s a cliched phrase that means to take things one step at a time, but that’s also a cliched phrase. Is there a way to define a cliche without using another cliche? I’m not sure it’s possible.

  15. He was smiling as he took that first step out of the house. He didn’t seem to notice the blood on his hands, nor how the wind managed to lift away what was left of his shirt. The ribbons of it fluttered about but he payed them no heed. He ran a hand through his disheveled brown hair and laughed as the wail of sirens reached his ears. He’d done it. Finally.

  17. One step.. It is so much harder than it looks when you know you’re stepping towards someone you hate so much. When all of those thoughts flow through your brain, and they step closer, then you know the war has begun without you even saying anything. They know it too, maybe that’s what causes the automatic hate.

  18. She took one step, and she fell.

  19. First steps, children’s steps- marking their presence in the world.
    On the way to Enlightment and to a bigger world than morning baby food
    and the daunting chores of survival. Every step leads us all somewhere closer to where we want to be.

  20. Okay.. You can do this.. Just take one step. Ankara told herself quietly. Seeing them together hurt her deeply. Okay, see? That wasn’t so bad. “Oh Hi Ankara.” Uh oh. She was about to take a step backward, but he was too quick and she didn’t want to be rude. “Hello.”

  23. I always take big steps. I never really think things through. That’s a problem I have. I either take huge steps or don’t take any steps at all. I fell down the back steps when I was little. It was painful. They’re brown super hard wood. In 6th grade we had to do a step by step presentation in front of the class. Mine was on how to defend yourself with tae Kwon do.

  24. I step into the universe for the first time. It’s like stepping into a butterfly’s secret closet. Feeling the honeysuckle between my summer toes. a whirlwind of shapes in my dancing sunflower friendship eyes…I swallow the honey air with warm gulp and utter fascination at what is fresh.

  25. Step. First one step and the other. Step up to the podium. Take that first step on the stairs. Made of wood. Untreated save by the years of stepping and the carpet that once been stapled to them. They led up to the bedrooms where I spent my childhood, painted yellow and purple. We’d always make plans to escape that room and go out to the world, and here we are.

  26. I don’t want to take the next step. Story of my life. I drag out the current one as long as possible. I refuse to even think about how I will approach the next step. In the end, I only cause myself and others around me pain. And it sucks. But I still do not want to do this. stilllll.

  29. A quick little diddy, one walking jolt, and then a quick little hop. Pirouette completed, a smile for the claps of her mentors. Hopes and dreams all open in her eyes. It goes quiet.

  30. one of these can lead you down a path, through a tunnel, or across a bridge. one of these can send you in the right direction or the wrong one. one of these can lift you up, can lead to many, can get you going.

  33. step by step. our lives are judged by steps. the step of graduating high school, college, getting married, having children. each step is a glorious one. each step is huge but small at the same time. and one day when we look back on our lives, we can look at each small step and see how far each step took us.

  34. The steps I took in line with my destiny, alone steps, have made and unmade me. Not measured by logic or convention, but directed by the unseen light that only the heart can know when it is quiet.

  36. He stepped up to the plate,wringing his hands on the bat’s handle. He knew this pitcher would pitch fast and he’d just gotten off of the t-ball stand. His mother was watching, somewhere behind him and he wanted to hit the ball. He stepped a little closer to the plate, watching and waiting. The ball came flying at him. Wham! He snapped his arms quickly. The ball sailed back behind him and the umpire yelled, “Strike one!”

  37. I was always falling into step behind everyone. I could never be my own leader. I hated that. I hated being different. I was okay with being behind, but I wasn’t okay with not being important. So, I shut my mouth and continue to fall in line behind everyone: Right where I belong.

  38. I tried to take a step back.
    To see things from another perspective.
    To leave my emotions behind
    for a moment
    and see all that there was
    and all that there will
    or will not be.
    Everything in between.
    I didn’t necessarily like it;
    to see a cellphone completely re-purposed
    or a nightstand drawer empty
    or upturned canvases tucked away.
    In fact, I hate it.
    But it seemed like it was
    starting to make sense.
    Sometimes, though, I wish that
    You didn’t take that step
    before I did.
