Writing Challenge - Day 15

Again, I forgot to write a post yesterday, zzz. I'll post two today.

Day 15: What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

If I weren’t afraid? Hmm…

Since the question doesn’t specify what kind of fear or its context, it’s a bit hard for me to interpret this. But I’ll try :3

The first thing that comes to mind (and maybe a bit cliché) is this, I’d answer every question given by teachers and lecturers when I know the answer. It’d be a great opportunity to build confidence and maybe even score extra points.

I’d raise my hand whenever a speaker asks for a volunteer, or during those ice-breaking sessions, to gain more attention, make new friends, and create meaningful exposure for myself.

Another thing is that I’d finally start working on self-branding — something that’s been sitting on my to-do list for a while now. Honestly, I’ve been holding back because I’m afraid of people’s opinions and judgments.

I’d also show more love and affection to my family. It’s something I know I should be doing more often, but fear (or maybe just awkwardness?) tends to hold me back, always.

And lastly, I’d try every single thing that interests me without hesitation.

There are so many things I’d do if fear weren’t in the way. 😔

Fear might be a part of who I am, but I’m slowly learning how to work around it. Even small steps, like writing posts like these, help me confront those fears little by little. And that, I think, is something worth striving for :3
