   courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to endure fear

      LB i've never really stopped fearing anything in my life. in fact i've gotten more fearful as time has passed. but i've gotten better at doing things despite the fear. mostly because i've been forced to, but also just because i want to.

      like, it's gotten harder for me to talk to anyone lately due to social problems i've been developing over the past year where it's nearly impossible to make a proper sustained connection with others. but i'm still trying.

         i'm afraid every time i post, every time i say anything, what someone will think of me. always looking for a reaction. it's silly, and i tell myself that's silly, and i post and say things anyway because everybody else is doing it and i want to, too.

            the fear is like, constantly there, but i'm kinda getting the hang of doing things anyway, y'know?

            now if only i could apply that to the truly drastic things i want/need to do.
