I'm doing better at ice skating lately. Today my teacher pulled me aside and looked at me directly: "I'll say one thing, no matter what it is, you just throw yourself out there and do it. It may not be pretty, but you're not scared to try."
It was a really nice compliment, even if I do try to unsuccessfully to look pretty. It's weird that in tennis and ice skating, I'll try anything. In life it's a lot different. I barely leave the house. I wonder what the difference is. I want to be consistently fearless. It's too easy to back down, to say no, to not put myself out there. Maybe I'm just scared of finding out the truth behind things.
