Today I spoke up more than I usually would on any given day. It feels uncomfortable and unsettling. Why though? Maybe I’m worried about what others are thinking of me? Maybe it’s because it’s new and new things are scary? Maybe it’s because it just is uncomfortable. It just is what it is. Tomorrow I will get more opportunities to use my voice again. It will be uncomfortable. There’s no growth without discomfort. And I’m going to keep on using my voice. That’s the only way I’ll ever learn who I am and who I am becoming.

Sending love and light, Kel.
