30 days writing {13} does it matter?

These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Is fear holding you back from living your fullest life and being truly self expressed? 
Put yourself in the shoes of the you who’s already lived your dream 
and write out the answers to the following:

Is the insecurity you’re defending worth the dream you’ll never realize? 
or the love you’ll never venture? or the joy you’ll never feel?
apparently is is, otherwise i'd have stripped it off by now, living the Full and Wonderful life of my dreams... but maybe this is the life of my dreams, for now, maybe this is all i can handle at the moment.. maybe Wonderful Things are waiting around the corner, in readiness for my readiness... i've discarded so many fears already, have let go of so many insecurities... i know the Fear of Rejection will always be a part-player, and the Fear of Not Finding Love is kind of innate, but i know i'll scale those mountains when my time is right...

Will the blunder matter in 10 years? Or 10 weeks? Or 10 days? Or 10 minutes?
no. of course not... 

Can you be happy being anything less than who you really are?
no, but even this, even the scared version of me is who i am. at times. not all the time, but chunks of them... and only i can decide when i'll be ready to let go...

Now Do. The Thing. You Fear.
stop telling me what to do!!
