afraid. so WHAT?

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

- Anais Nin

Sometimes its hard to say things out loud because the act of forming the words makes them real. Whats even harder is writing down these things we think. Putting thoughts and plans on papers means they are real. We have thought those thoughts, planned those plans and now we have something to be held accountable for.

I guess what I am trying to say is its natural to be a little afraid of these thoughts, but we cannot hide. We should use this as a tool. By voicing what we want in this life we are not jinxing ourselves, rather enforcing ourselves. Strengthening our belief in ourselves and giving ourselves a mark to measure up to.
