What message do you have to share? What message have you gotten? What message is life giving you? Did you listen? Did someone else? What’s the message here?

Plenty of people are of the opinion that I have a message to share about my life and experiences. I’m firmly of the opinion that I can’t have possibly lived enough by this age to have anything to say about life.

Well, that’s what I tell people, anyway.

Recently, the universe has seen that I am willing to take steps to become the woman I want to be. Thus, the universe has been lending me a hand. All the ‘messages’ I appear to be getting and feeling point me towards doing the things that make me feel afraid.

Facing your fears is hardly a new concept, but it is new to me. I wasn’t aware of just how many things I am afraid of until I started thinking about it and facing them. I have done all of three scary things so far, and strangely enough, I feel amazing for it. Vulnerable, unsure and confused as well, but the amazing bit is the important part.

I believe we all have our own trials in life, specific to our lives. What is scary for me is not scary for you and vice versa because we all have different things to learn. What I am learning is that I need to focus on the things I face, not what other people might think of my fears.

The funny thing out of all of this is that one of my fears is sitting down and writing about my life. Facing all those events again. I’m afraid of facing it and having other judge what I’ve been through.

So maybe I’ll end up writing that memoir after all…
