It All Comes Down To Confidence

I recently changed my life drastically by moving far away from safety to start a new chapter in my life.

And I think we can all agree on what anxiety filled experience that kind of change can be. When it all dawns on you. The change, the insecurity, the fear. We are not wired for this kind of change, but if Darwin taught us anything, it's that the better you are at adapting to change, the better your life will be.

And deep down, we all know it: change can be just what we need. It's not unjust to say that the most difficult things in one's life are the most necessary ones.

If the feeling of terror when starting something new can be measured, it's in confidence (or lack thereof)
Because if you really think about it, the fear has got to come from somewhere. Uncertainty, lack of trust in yourself, negative thoughts. Fear and anxiety doesn't just happen. Some of it is rational, but unfortunately, most of it isn't.

And the more confident we can be in a situation like that, the less paralyzed by fear we will be. Since it's such a hard thing to do, it also seems to be one of the most necessary things we have to go through. I know, growing up is a bitch.

But to turn it all around is far from impossible, rather; it's vital. To turn the fears and the insecurities into hope and the possibility of opportunities.

Change will be hard. But take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and dive in. The possibilities will be endless.

On Hold.

Yea. That defines my current state of existence. 'On hold'- My prior excitement for homecoming has sizzled out, though it hasn't really progressed into a depressive mode, it is in a idle state.

I Am Free

I am free. Because I found me. I am free. Because beyond looks I can see. I am free. Because I no longer scream. I am free. Because of the impossible I always dream. I am free.
