To Be
For far too long I have let my fear of failure and self-doubt dominate over my life. But not anymore. For the first time, I feel awake to this tremendous possibility of life that I hold. This medium is my monument—my attempt to encapsulate this feeling and spark of empowerment and determination—for the times when I will relapse back into my old state (which may even be as soon as tomorrow).
No longer will I let my fear of being unqualified stop me from trying new things.
No longer will I let my fear of wasting time stop me from doing different things.
No longer will I let my past paralyze me from looking to the future for hope and new opportunities for a new kind of life.
Stop looking for the right answer because there is no right answer. This life is not a multiple choice test. You know this, and this is scarier, but this is also freeing.
No longer will I let myself be my worst enemy of my dreams. Being a dreamer is not an obstacle to overcome, nor is hope an outlook for the naive. You do not have to remain the same. The possibilities are endless. A successful future is not only in the cards for select people. If it is, no one knows. You can only test the waters yourself.
I want to be a doer and I will be a doer. Channel it all outwards, Angeline Lee. You can do it. The time is now.
