#147: Overcome the fear of the unknown
Ya know, with this move to Africa, another major trip or two planned this year alone, an uncertain freelance professional life, an equally crazy personal life, and absolutely no stress about what happens in all of it, I’m going to have to say, I’ve got this one down to an art.
If it all comes crashing down? I’m good at rebuilding.

Bravo. That’s great Mridu! It’s also on my list of to-do things. I have this terrible fear of the unknown and have been trying to convince myself to travel alone for years. I hope to do it this year, without always waiting for someone to go along with me…

The first step’s always the hardest, Naiya. The first time I traveled alone, I spent a whole day boxed up in my hotel room, before finally thinking, what the heck, I can do this!
Thanks Sid. I’m never able to motivate myself though. Always need external influence.

I think it was G. Gordon Liddy who ate a rat because he felt he had to overcome his fear of rats.

Ha! I lived on a terrace once upon a time, and there was a rat who would just jump on my pillow every night. I would wake up screaming, of course. This went on for a couple of nights before I started locking the door.
I grew fond of the bugger though. Even named him. But those midnight smooches are certainly not missed.
