Being young and uncertain isn't a problem to solve. It's just... how being young works. Everyone starts out not knowing. Everyone feels scared before their first anything. But I think what's best for me is to be gentler with myself about that fact. To stop measuring myself against some imaginary timeline where I'm supposed to have all this figured out by now. 💕

I think what's best for me is to let myself grow at my own pace without shame attached to it. To remember that nervous energy and that panic I feel? Those are actually just signs that something matters to me, not signs that something is wrong with me. 😊

The best thing I can do is keep being honest about my fears instead of pretending I'm braver than I am. And maybe eventually, when the moment comes—whatever that moment is—I won't feel so terrified because I'll have spent all this time getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Does that make sense? 🤔

What's best for me right now is exactly this: patience with myself. Trust in my own timeline. And the knowledge that being afraid of something doesn't mean I should never do it—it just means I'm not ready yet. And that's okay. 🌼
