I am terrified of the unknown, along with failure. No matter how hard I try, these two things are tremendous road blocks for me. They hold me back in my relationships, my work, my life. And I hate it. For my fear results in me being unable to fully invest in things, it prevents me from taking chances and doing things that deep down I have always wanted to do. I want to try and start embracing the uncertainty- realizing that while yes I may be afraid for what’s to come, or terrified of failing, it will lead me somewhere and I will grow and learn from it. For too long I feel as if I have remained in the same place, because it’s comfortable and familiar. But there’s something inside of me telling me to make changes, to be brave and explore different pathways of life, to simply put myself out there. I want to finally stand up for myself and do things for me instead of sitting back and being told what to do, especially things that rid me of my happiness. I want to work on not letting minor inconveniences or setbacks result in me feeling defeated and worthless. This bravery may result in me feeling more lost than ever, but even if that is the case, I will be ok, as I have been every time before. But as always- progress, not perfection.
