A New Fearless MeA Story by Laura MariaIt has just hit me that we are only a few weeks away from a brand new year. I feel as though I've been absent all of 2016, in thought, at least. Time flies. Especially when you are caught up in a routine. I know we have a habit of coming up with empty promises for the new year and I've decided that this year I'm not going to promise anything at all. Instead, I'm going to state what I will do and the fears I have for these new beginnings. First of all, I'm due for a new job in January and quite honestly, I'm worried. However, I think it will be for the best. I've spent too long working retail and giving all of my energy to the customer service lifestyle. To me, it's a draining job because I'm an ambivert. I love people and the satisfaction that I feel from being helpful, informative and upbeat but I do require quite a bit of time to re-energize. Lately, I haven't had much time for recuperating and thus I've been walking around emotionally and physically empty. Yes, that's a thing. So, that's the end of the first trial to come. Second, I'm done trying to keep myself from my dreams because of fear. I'm giving up on fear completely and turning it into a push forward. What do I mean by that? Simply put, I mean that I will do what I want to do now instead of waiting for the "right time." I've always wanted to travel the world so I've booked my first flight to Europe. I'll be going alone, which also used to scare me, but I think it will be an amazing opportunity for me to find myself. The month after I come back, I'm starting school at a university away from home. This will be the first time I'll be living on my own so I'm both excited and anxious. I know it will be a lot of work to balance all of this change but since I'm giving up fear, I know I'll pull through anything. I've blossomed into a new person who is fearless. Here's to a year of new beginnings.
