Sometimes
We have to take a break from the outside world
In the aspect of the every day
Hustle and bustle
The routine
The monotony
This is something my therapist shared with me
I’ve honestly heard it over and over again
And still decided to isolate myself from the world
Outside of the required interactions
I feared being “crossed”
I feared being judged
I feared not “fitting in”
I decided to give the outside world another “chance”
I realized it wasn’t about the external forces
I learned it was truly about me
How I felt after engaging in my hobbies
The idea of meeting amazing
Kind people in the process
I realized that I had allowed my ego
To get the best of me
I was holding myself back
Based on my own irrational fears
The constant “what if’s”
That I managed to turn into
“What if it’s amazing”
“What if I have fun”
“What if I meet cool people”
Half of the battle for me
Is working up enough energy
To step out of the “funk”
To muster enough courage
To kiss my egos and fears goodbye
Of course
This is a work in progress
But
We only move forward if we
Put the work in
And meet our destiny half way
