Claudette

“I want to grow, to do right by others and myself, to trust the open doors and knock on the closed ones. But I sometimes get scared of my own mind. Of my words. Of my ability to forgive myself. Of my self-assuredness. I need to let myself feel confusion. I need to be embarrassed once in a while. I need to cry and feel and know that I can’t explain it all away. I need the powerlessness of fog.”
