Indie Weekend: Being Scared
If you met me on the street, you’d never know I walk around with this crazy, delicate balance of being scared and wary versus being excited and eager to see what’s around the next corner. We like to talk about being brave and fearless and embracing the authentic, but I live in a culture that […]
