Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I’ve been living my life afraid. Every single decision I made was run through the filter of fear. Fear that paralyzed me. Because “what if something bad happens?” But one day, I woke up and realized that bad things can happen whether you’re sitting in your living room or out exploring the world. And I didn’t want to miss the things that life had for me anymore. I didn’t want to keep saying no every time something came up and threatened my well-laid plans.
