It's all been done before. Sure it has. But none of us have done everything. Just because someone did it, doesn't mean you have. Everything happens to everyone for a first time. And everything, and everyone, and every time is specific.
Nobody anywhere can tell you how you feel, or how you should do something. It's our individual job to figure out what works for us. Making rules are scary, and when we don't have instructions, it's easy to just sit on your hands and wait for them. But you can't be afraid. If you sit on your hands forever they'll fall off, and then you won't be able to eat corn on the cob, or button your shirt.
Don't tell yourself that something isn't special, or that the way you feel is just programmed into humanity. Everything is original.

Decartes said "I think therefore I am" he abandoned anything that Anyone said about the world and believed only what he discovered through experience. A little drastic but an interesting way to view life! I try not to believe what people tell me until I've discovered it for myself. Everyone experiences things with different perspective how then can you trust anyone's opinion! Go out and just do it yourself I say!!!
ReplyDelete...you may have just taken a fatal blow at one of my biggest fears. Like, just knocked it out cold so that I can have a chance to finish it off myself. Thanks Steph :)
