Do Hard Things

Ever realize this to be true? I mean, I know I have. As a "talker" I think I'm often guilty of saying so much that what I say doesn't have much meaning. Really though, if you want to know the truth, I get scared sometimes that I say so much "fluff" but miss out on the "deep".  I am easily embarrassed and care too much often times what people think of me. I give in. This is something that's changed in me over the last few years. I never used to give in. I thought I was always right, but somewhere along the road in the growing out of that stage (and yes, I know I was a pain in the butt then and I apologize) I grew into the phase of avoiding conflict and giving in. Sometimes the best qualities you gain also bring out some of the worst qualities. There's a fine line there between saying what you think and just giving in and putting up because conflict isn't worth it. But, as the quote says, I've realized it's often about more than whatever you're not saying. You're not saying something because there's so much more to be said. There's so much more that would come out that it's scary. I get scared easily when I don't know what's going to happen or how it's going to happen. Katie definitely got all the adventurous genes in the family! There's a book my mom loves called "Do Hard Things" and right now...I think there's a lot of hard things in my future. I guess I need to just do it.
