Who would I be if I wasn't fearful of these things? More confident, more self-assured, more at peace... all things i want.
I think you see "no fear" as a place to reach, but I think you're mistaken. There will always be fear - of the unknown, of making mistakes, of promising more than you can deliver, of being alone. But that's how life works. You don't gain anything if you don't risk anything, and if you don't risk anything, you have no life. You CAN be self-assured, more at peace, etc. It's already within you. It's always been within your power but you don't trust it yet. .... Hmmm, did I just quote the Wizard of Oz?! Anyway, point is, why battle these things? Just accept them. This is you, your hopes, your fears, your dreams, your desires. Bridgestone in all her glory. So embrace her and let her live. But recognize that others want to live to - you can't become so self-focused that you start shoving out the realities of other lives. When it's time, you'll need to compromise, but I don't think you're there yet.
