Fear: I Might Not Be The Best Voice

There’s a lot of fear that has hit me at every step of this process. There’s the fear of traveling, fear of committing to a multi-year project, fear of missing out, fear of not being good enough, fear of being too honest, etc.

For me, breaking down helped me get over those fears. Breaking down made me not want to live. Not wanting to live helped me see that life is short, and not every day is guaranteed. Why waste it stuck in fear? Avoiding these fears is what had kept me feeling trapped. It had given me no way to move, and no way to grow, unless I faced them.

I realized that there are many reasons I am unqualified, but all of those reasons are the very same reasons why I need to speak up. If I can overcome odds that are stacked against me, that adds so much more to the story.
