To be honest, it’s been really hard for me to admit that I'm scared about my future. ⚠️(Trigger Warning) A big part of my adult life has been expecting the worst, letting people disappoint me and feeling stuck. After I was abused, strangled, raped, abducted and driven off a cliff by my ex-boyfriend, it's hard not to think, what if it happens again? Logically the likelihood of this happening again is sooo small. And although I have made a decision to change my life drastically from the way I have been living for the last 5 years. It's still fucking scary, to be seen, to show up, to know I can commit to myself, to know I'm worthy of contentment and happiness, to know I am capable of helping so many lives. It's simple but it's not easy. I'm learning to grow through what I go through, rather than stopping and thinking 'I need to be fixed before I can do XYZ' - that's bullshit. In my heart I've been a free spirit, go with the flow, spontaneous person... But my mind is what's holding me back, staying stuck, frozen and not trusting that things will work out. Being different, leaving the crowd and being true to yourself is scary. Deep down in my heart I know, everything is working out for me. That's why I'm breathing here today & for that, I am so grateful. I'm here for you. And I want you to know it's okay to be scared about your future, but it also okay be excited about it too. 🤍 #jessspo #imscared #fear #growth #dv #dvawareness #liveyourlife #youdoyouboo #loveyourself #commit #beexcited https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLZfz-Pz4e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m a very passionate person, so I tend to pursue what really gets me excited and happy. Some people may say that this is a no-brainer but honestly following your dreams can be intimidating.
👉🏻First of all, you wouldn’t know if all your efforts would lead to success. They can lead to disappointments because in reality, not everything works out.
👉🏻Second, I know other people’s opinions don’t matter but they can be very discouraging and it takes a lot to block the noise out.
👉🏻Lastly, you might even doubt yourself halfway through and think twice if this is what’s right for you.
I used to overthink these things until it made me dizzy 😵💫 but now that I’m older, I realize that these fears shouldn’t even matter.
What matters is you being BRAVE enough to try and go for what makes you happy. And I can confidentially say that I’m proud of myself for doing so. 😄
