I’ve had a lot of fears in my life. Some I still have to this day, one being death and dying. I think that one I won’t overcome until the day comes. I think it’s more the fear of the unknown. I dance the line with curiosity and fear of the unknown.

One of the biggest fears I have is not being good enough. I mean this in the sense of being a good enough daughter, a good enough mother, good enough at writing, good enough at cutting hair. In sense it’s part of my depression and anxiety. This one however, I have been working on getting over it. When I start to feel like a crap daughter, I call my mom or send her a text. When I doubt myself as a mother, I sit with my kids, or I look at them and remind myself that I’ve got them this far. As for my job, I look at pictures of previous work vs the now work I do and see the growth. Finally with my writing, I do read my reviews. The fact that I have 5- and 4-star reviews baffle me! It means the world to me because I never thought anyone would even read my books to begin with.

It’s becoming easier to overcome my fears by just doing what makes me scared. If I let me fears overtake my life, I won’t be able to move forward. So, I will continue to move forward and take my fear by the horns.
