Gifted Slacker

To be completely honest, all of this (i.e., being away from everything I know for 11 months, being completely vulnerable in a way I’ve never been before, signing away a significant chunk of my life to paying back loans, and some things that are too private or that I’m unable to articulate) scares the shit out of me. So much so that I could almost run away and hide.

I try to embrace the idea that life is an adventure, that you have to take big risks for big payoffs, that you have to live without holding back. It doesn’t help.

I’m stressed and worried, but life is great overall and there are some exciting threads open in my life. The only thing I can do is try my best to explore them without fear.
