Every Day in May

And I'm already 7 days behind! This is the perfect opportunity to get myself in the habit (doesn't it take thirty days to form a habit?) of writing. And learn to leave behind the fear of imperfection and my social anxieties. It's time to take action and start living my life the way I want to!

Whew, I think my declarations came off way more enthusiastic than I intended. : )
{And I may or may not try to catch up with the first week that I missed... baby steps.}

Day 7: The thing(s) you're most afraid of.

I am afraid to speak the truth and tell people what's really on my mind. I am afraid to have a voice.

I am afraid that one day my ex-husband will eventually break me down.
{Except that I'm growing stronger every day and his power over me is weakening.}

That my children will not have fresh drinking water when they're my age. That my mom will die too young and I'll have to learn how it feels to really grieve. That I'll never overcome my social anxieties and be stuck in a vicious cycle of remorse and regret because of all the things I never did or said.

"Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it

We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth

So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you..."
