FEAR
Part One: I’m afraid of letting myself down and, in turn, the unknown. I think from a young age we’re told we can do anything or be anything and to an extent that’s true but what if you want to be everything?

I want to be set on one thing, I’m envious of those who know exactly what they want to do and will pursue it at all costs. I know that going down one path will without a doubt lead to others but how do I know which path will take me where I want to go? I feel overwhelmed by opportunity and feeling the weight of expectation, predominantly self-inflicted, and worry I won’t reach that potential.
