I've met moments where fear has struck me still to the spot
But my biggest fear is missing out on life
Not in the FOMO sense, it's more personal than that something I've desired & somethings in my way, usually myself
How I meet these moments are what builds my resilience.
For those who don't know I was a singer in a band Mycelium Network
I remember the first time I got on stage, it was at a local festival & I'd never sang in front of people before
I was of full of anxious energy I thought I was going to throw up & pass out... I walked off stage half way through a song and my dad kept singing,
I went to the bathroom,
I stomped, I shaked & in that moment I had a choice,
Do I stay hidden in the stall or go back out
I went back out and finished the set & that anxious energy turned into creative & joyful adrenaline
From that moment something changed
I still expereince fear & anxiety, but I know I have the capacity to hold myself & face it
And you have a capacity greater than you may think
