I can't even explain how many times fear has stopped me from doing something that I wanted to do. So many times I've gotten anxiety about how much anxiety I have. But then I look back on my life thus far and I think that for someone "suffering" from anxiety I've done pretty damn well for myself.
The city that I've recently moved to in California consists almost entirely of natives who like to tell me on a regular basis how odd it is that I've ended up here all the way from Massachusetts. Little do they know how happy it makes me to be reminded.
My memory is quite faulty. It's easy for me to forget things that I'm capable of.
But in all reality, deep down, I know I'm capable of anything.
Just like anyone else is capable of anything.
This life is too short not to realize this. And we read it everywhere. We read it on our social networks in different fonts and filters and in different wording, but it all comes down to this one thing: this is it. This is all you have.
Tomorrow is never a given. We just happen to think it is and we drown out the sound of our gut that tells us what we know we should do or see or be. We drown out our gut with doubts and we forget just how fucking amazing WE ARE.
We are untouchable and we spend most of our lives avoiding the acceptance of this.
But the fact still remains that we are.
That you are.
