Once you start to speak, people will yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest itās personal. And the world wonāt end. And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you donāt miss them. And new ones will find you and cherish youā¦And at last youāll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.
