I’m working on it.

What fears have you overcome and how?

I have so many fears, that to be honest I can’t place just one that I have overcome.

I feel like working on them all is a lifelong task.

I’ve gotten better at speaking on the phone. At telling people how I feel. At saying no.

But to say I’ve overcome these fears would be to suggest they no longer scare me, wouldn’t it? And to be honest they do. I think they always will.

Maybe overcoming a fear is to learn to live with that fear and to not let it stop you, rather than never being afraid of something.

But I think it’s a process. Not a to do list.
