I wondered how many other things I might actually be quite good at that I’d always been too scared to try? Maybe if I faced my fears instead of running away from them, I could be a whole different person. Maybe if I could get over my fear of looking like an idiot in front of other people, I could actually live life instead of always watching from the sidelines. And maybe if I didn’t always have my guard up, waiting for people to judge me, I might realize that they are there to support and help … because deep down we’re all as scared as each other.
