Again. Why? Because I came home from a group dinner at which I saw the man I currently have a ridiculous crush on, heard him say the word “girlfriend” and decided I needed to fall in love immediately to get back at him.
Oh, and also because a month ago I logged onto match.com, without having an account, performed a ridiculously specific search, and up popped the profile of a man I am now strangely infatuated with, even though he lives in another state and has no idea I exist. let alone that I searched through all of the profiles with his extremely common first name trying to find him on facebook, and once I did have routinely checked it for any updates to the public portions I can see.
I don’t know about the courageous and love part but I have whole-heartedly fallen into something.
I look at my goals and ambitions and think I am totally capable, ready, equipped, and qualified. i think I am a natural born teacher and leader, I think the starts have aligned perfectly helping to set the groundwork for my dream to come true.
But most of the time I think I am going to fail so miserably that I will have ruined my entire life and reputation.
What the fuck am I thinking? No degree, no real training in most of the things I want to teach, no business school, no business partner, no investors, no fall back plan.
i am so scared of failing. I am so scared of all the challenges I know I will face, so scared of not having a support network.
