Why am I Afraid?
I do not like to admit that I am afraid. What’s more, it’s a super-intangible fear, and I’ve been letting it kick my ass. I am going to get very personal here, because this entire week has made it abundantly clear that I am off course. All week I have been avoiding doing the things…
