Reserved

Are you afraid to let people in? Do you have a certain reserve about you?

I used to be afraid to let people in. Reserved. Kept a buffer zone between me and others. Because letting people in can be scary. They might just hurt you.

Or not.

In fact, they might just expand your world and bring you more joy than you could ever have imagined.

So what are you afraid of? That they’ll hurt you? Or perhaps you’re afraid that you don’t really deserve all the joy that opening your mind and heart and soul might bring. Either way, you better just stop it. Because we’re not being reserved any more. We’re doing things that scare us like letting people in. So take a fucking risk and start to let people in. Your life will be forever changed. For. The. Better.

And yes, in fact, I am being a little bit bossy. That’s because I’m not reserved anymore. And you shouldn’t be either.

So stop being reserved and tell us what did you do today that scares you. That’s an order! Share your story in the comments below.
