A new year

The internet’s a funny thing. You go intentionally to look for something you want, then click on something interesting, then click on something else, then something else, then before you know it, unintentionally, you find something you need.

Like this video by photographer Sue Bryce about confronting fear:

And in particular this quote, in which she distills the 1300+ replies to a post in which she asked photographers to name the thing that made them walk away from making a call, approaching a person, or putting themselves out there:

“We can discuss fear until the sun sets and it won’t change the fact I’m going to wake up tomorrow and not be able to make a phone call in my business because I’m terrified! Why am I terrified?

I’m not terrified: I just don’t think I’m worth it.

I don’t think I’m worth it.

That’s heartbreaking, isn’t it?”

It absolutely is. And it’s absolutely wrong.

Everyone’s worth it.
