let's do it

funny how i picked this fortune cookie tonight...  i've been thinking a lot recently about how i've avoided doing certain things that i love doing, and a lot of that is purely circumstantial, either it's not the right time, or i'm not with the right person, or i don't have the means, or the tools, or i'm a little self-conscious, or i'm shy, or i'm just plain scared.

being scared is such a pointless emotion.... why should we be scared of anything?  i wish i wasn't sometimes, and that i could snap myself out of it at the drop of a dime and instead feel excited... truth is, anything that's scary is probably also pretty healthy for you- unless it's drugs or something. lol. i just mean-- if something really makes you feel that strongly, to the point where your knees shake, and you start second guessing yourself, it's probably crucial to your growth as a human, and you should probably just do it.

and thank yourself later.

i really hope i can pull this thing off, this thing called life. it's new and it's scary, but i love it.

and i'm doing it. i'm gonna do the shit out of it.

(ps - i'm totally feeling my cuticle game right now... lol)
