This tag from a (I think) Yogi tea bag is on my vision board directly in front of my desk, held in place by an AIDS ribbon and beside my punk-rock Lisa Star Simpson shrinky dink. I always feel very limited; in my body, the way my face is perceived, by my intellect and often lack of knowledge, and by my fear of failure or not fitting in with society. I wish I could be fearless and strong and become the best version of myself. Someone who tried, failed, tried again, failed, and continued to strive for success in anything and everything. I'd take up the piano, learn to sing, speak my limited Spanish and Dutch with friends and strangers, publish my writing, and not care so much about what the world saw me as. If I removed all the limits I've placed on myself, I would soar. I would finally feel like the someone I know I am but feel too frightened to unleash. I wish that wishing would make things so, for if they did, I would be truly magnificent.
