It’s ridiculous how fearless/daring I am in some things I do but not in others. Shouldn’t I follow the same guidelines no matter the topic or situation?

When it comes to writing, I take whatever is thrown my way. I try my best and hope it all goes well. I have confidence in myself.

When it comes to photoshoots, I hem and haw, hesitate, wonder about this and that. Sometimes I have good reason, other times I’m my only obstacle. Someone told me that I should just “go for it”. Even though the results wouldn’t be that good, at least I would learn something from the experience. It’s easier said than done, especially for uncharted territory.

I notice this pattern not only for photoshoots but for other areas as well. As long as something is unfamiliar or new to me, I’m afraid of going close to it.

I thought my new philosophy in life was “why not?”, but it’s turning more into one with conditions attached.
