“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.

When you “do it scared” eventually you’re supposed to be less scared, eventually doing it scared is supposed to teach you the worst won’t happen, or it won’t be as bad as you think it is, or that the best outcomes are worth it, or you’re more capable than you thought you were. If you do it scared over and over and you’re still scared and you’re always scared, maybe it was never about pushing yourself, maybe something bigger is going on and what you really need is to be kind to yourself while you figure out what that is.

my promising gardening career was cut short when i was mauled by a rampaging basil plant

Your uncle was hunted by puppets that is crazy I actually had two uncles who got hunted by puppets and they got hunted without any smoked meats or puppet knives to defend themselves so I basically know what you're talking about but even better when you think about it and I come from a proud lineage of puppet huntlets but yeah I totally get what you are saying even if you say it less beautifully than I me
