prompt: let go
What (or whom) did you let go this year? Why?
(Author: Alice Bradley)
I let go of fear.
Specifically fear of rejection. Creative rejection.
I still shiver with the memory of it all.
Sometime mid-year, I started to submit my work. My work. Not my work for others. For subjective input. It was a terrifying process. I am fine, indeed thrive, in my safe anonymous world, but to put my name to work is intimidating. In order to be considered a writer, a photographer, a story teller, I had to let go of the one thing that was keeping me grounded: fear.
I am very glad I did.
What a brave thing you have done over this past year...you are fearless my friend and you inspire me.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Lee! :)
