One day, you’ll thank yourself for starting the thing that scares you now.

@Daojoan
Also: me moving out
: me going to college by myself and finding out I actually love academia and excel in knowledge and learning 🩷 (this is the same person who thought that it would be too hard 😹)
@Daojoan Maybe oddly, my reference for this way of thinking is a Dear Abby/Ann Landers (sorry, ladies, I can’t remember which) column from when I was a kid. A woman who had been pre-med dropped out when she got married and pregnant and stayed home with her kids, but now they were in school and she was thinking of going back to finish her degree and go to med school, but she was daunted by the idea that in six years, when she was done, she’d be 35! A/A responded “you’ll be 35 in 6 years regardless. The question is will you be a doctor?”

@Daojoan Good point. Life is about taking (considered) risks.
@Daojoan good job. I’m also 7 years and am rather proud of it!!!
After 2+years on HRT I kinda agree, but I feel there are more things that scare me than those I've started yet...
