I like who I am.
It's when I am in situations outside my control that I get nervous. I think that is pretty normal.
No one likes being rejected or failing. I've just noticed recently that it has kind of held me back. I think I've just kind of lost myself since I don't really have a direction to begin with.
It's like being afraid to pick a path when you don't know where you are or where you're going. Once you pick, there is no turning back and you can enjoy the walk, but that point of indecision can mean anything and nothing at the same time. You have no idea what the meaning could be, where it could take you, and if you'll have to do it again soon or forever wander in that direction.
Just have to get the confidence to take those first steps.
