My niece and nephews are the precious light of my life and I have sacrificed time with them for a dream and a brain full of ideas that won’t let me rest. One of the scariest things about leaping into the void with no net is not only the ever present fear of failing but worrying that at the end of my life I’ll look back and realize it wasn’t worth it.
When I don’t want to keep pushing or writing or getting on stage or facing the daily rejection, these are the moments that drive me. There’s no going back. Only forward. And the only way out, is up.
