Fear never goes away you just need to move your body and shut up. I am an insane over thinker and I never stop thinking. I solo traveled to Argentina and I am going to a concert in a few days alone. If you keep at what you love even alone you will meet people on a similar path soon enough or maybe not! But you will learn a lot about yourself, and who you are.
Also in regards to confidence. It’s a muscle not a thought process or a personality trait. You need to consistently work at it to keep it strong! you got this!

(when it comes to absolutely anything)
I am moving to a new state in about a month. the way my anxiety is set up, i honestly never thought I’d do something like this alone lol (the idea was always “when i meet someone & get married”), but I had been feeling so stuck for so long where im residing currently. i chose to just take the leap & truly commune with my desire to relocate & have an opportunity to start a new life chapter, despite fear & comfort zones begging me to stay within them, and I’m so happy I did. i am already seeing the amazing opportunities & blessings this transition comes with & I haven’t even actually physically moved yet. I already got a nice place locked in, a new job that I’m actually excited about (with way more pay than I’d ever be offered where I live currently), and a chance to truly start fresh.
This is encouragement to people who are feeling stuck in life or even struggle with anxiety. things may feel and be really crappy right now, but you have the power to make a change & do better for yourself. all it takes is just a leap of faith, & please know that fear is merely what it is ❤️

I grew up being painfully shy with anyone other than my closest friends. I got sick of that. Over the years I’ve grown into a confident person by doing as much scary shit as I can. If there’s something I find particularly terrifying, like accepting an invitation to attend a clowning class, it means to me I have to just fucking do it. I don’t always end up having good experiences following my fear, but more often than not, I do. And you know, worst case scenario I end up with a funny story? Eating shit is good for you. If there’s something that keeps floating into your consciousness, but you’re afraid to poke it, I recommend walking towards it!

this year has been all about getting “out there” for me. since i’ve been doing concert photography more, i’ve come to realize that it really never hurts to ask - even if the ask seems outlandish at the time. if the opportunity doesn’t open itself up to you, then it wasn’t meant for you anyways!
i am someone who deals with imposter syndrome quite a bit, and i’ve had to come to realize that i have to do the scary things in order for me to achieve what i want to (and to make them not so scary over time)!
this applies to relationships as well, but i’m not so much focused on that in this particular phase of life as i am on my hobbies/career.
anyways: DO THE SCARY THING. ASK THE SCARY/CRAZY QUESTION. YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON’T TRY. DON’T LIVE A LIFE OF “WHAT IFS”!
(this is aggressive bc i’m mostly trying to remind myself of it)

All of my journeys and people i’ve met on the walls with unique furniture i’ve collected that has found me throughout my life, warm and mainly reminiscent of my childhood home. No real aesthetic just life, lots of different patterns and plants on every shelf along with books and an abundance of physical media. Basically where I would want to be raised as a child. Keep in mind this is my final home I would take my last steps in not exactly my college apartment or something of my early days.
Similar to Gilmore Girls home, or even the Call Me by Your Name house!

You have probably seen but nothing has affected me more than the end of la la land that last look made my heart drop physically.
Sound of Metal my favorite of all time I can’t explain the ending and why it is so jarring you just have to endure it.
