We all have fears … which always come from within us.

I have a great fear of crowds … I hate being in a crowd and it makes me really stressed (and grumpy) … and I just want to make a run for it.  I need to have a wee bit of space around me …

It does hold me back from doing things at times … I don’t go to concerts now because my fear has worsened in later life … but I have decided to conquer it …

I would have loved to have gone to see Ed Sheeran … I was very kindly offered a ticket by a very kind woman but turned it down … saying I was busy … when in reality the thought of the crowds made me want to run for the hills.  I didn’t admit that to her though…

I have decided enough is enough … I know I am going to to Lfest, which will be crowded but I know I can “walk away” from the crowds there … but it will be a start …

Next time there is an act I want to see, I am going to go … I am going to put my fears and excuses behind me … it is time to forget all my worries and just do what I want to do.

I have one life … I’m going to live the rest of it the way I should have done years ago!
