It was near the tail end of college I learned to try things as opposed to watching from afar and hoping to one day try. It’s always scary to try something new and I’m not sure if that feeling ever goes away. Whether it’s visiting a brand new city where you have no friends or attending a party full of strangers only linked by your shared interests in a hobby, they never fail to fill me with a sense of excitement and dread.

The scarier alternative is never knowing what could have been. I frequently run scenarios in my head of “What ifs” and contemplating how my life would have turned out had  taken the chance. To me, those nights are worse than any temporary fear of going out and trying those scary things.
