my new normal

Facing my fears, putting myself in vulnerable situations, opening myself up to trusting people again. It's not glamorous, it doesn't feel good yet, it may never, but I am growing. Learning. Learning the things I'm scared of aren't so terrifying, that being vulnerable may end up hurting me or reaping amazing rewards either of which are worth it. Learning that there are people out there that I can open up to that can help me sort through all the thoughts in my head, that can provide ideas that I've been circling around but just haven't quite put so eloquently. Doing the things that are hard for me is giving me more than I could have ever imagined and opening my eyes to an entirely new side of myself.
