Over the past year I've been thinking about taking a big leap into the unknown with my career. My personal circumstancea have changed such that I can make it work. I've got outside support and encouragement. Some external factors have created a window. I know I can do the job. And if I fail, it would be a great learning experience. But I'm scared, man! It's funny that despite my greatest moments of growth coming after pushing through uncomfortable things and risking failure, I still hold myself back out of fear. The brain is a weird thing. I just feel like denying myself the chance to do something I've always wanted to do, just because I'm worried about being embarrassed or feeling like an imposter, would be a mistake. So fuck it. I'm doing it. I'm gonna do the thing, and I'm going to do it on my terms in a way that's authentic to me. Damn I'm nervous but fuuuuuck it I'm doing it.
