Had a really good chat with someone today about work related stuff and my head asplode. I sometimes wish I wasn't my own worst enemy when it comes to taking risk and believing in my strengths. But I feel like this conversation helped me move past some of that, wake up to what might truly be possible when enough people have told me it is, AND it is scary... but I'm realising it might be a much more interesting kind of scary.

It's like that line from Succession. "I wonder if the sad I'd be without you would be less than the sad I get from being with you." But replace sadness with anxiety
