Fears

So I turn 23 tomorrow - dear God why? I have all these people coming up to me telling me how they think this next year is just going to be incredible, that I am going to do so much in my life. I hope so! It's about bloody time I get a move on. So, I consider this a second New Year's resolution (if that makes any sense). This will be a year of taking chances, pushing my limits and capacity as an artist, I have the resolve to begin refining/mastering my skills. It's good to be scared sometimes... what else motivates us to move? I mean, it doesn't always have to be fear but I once heard a very famous woman say "It's better to do it afraid then not at all". I would have to agree with that. Taking chances is something we all long to do. Don't we usually take chances in loving someone? I hope I learn my lesson at age 23, and not 40. To take my chances, because half the battle is just showing up.
