Have you ever been able to look in the Mirror and be able to pick out you single biggest insecurity, single flaw, biggest weakness, greatest fear? Not the standard stuff like 'Oh my teeth aren't straight." or "I procrastinate too much." But deeper than that.
Shakespeare once wrote "The more things change the more they stay the same" My biggest flaw has to do with changing, and the inability to do so. Its not that i haven't thought about it but why? Why face the chance of new pains, new heartaches, new disappointments, new failed attempts, new could haves, new should haves, and new why didn't I's, when I am more then familiar with the ones i am facing now. Its not like I'm hurting anyone, except for maybe, myself. On the positive side, what if everything goes well, and i get everything I ever hope for, what then? Do I call it quits, to I stride for better or settle.
In the end I guess no matter how much I change, like the Shakespeare quote, I stay the same. I will always have this phobia i guess and though it isn't as clear as a sign hanging from my neck to everyone else, it will haunt me, cut through my days and sink into my dreams and my ambitions.
