“Aren’t you afraid to be alone out there?”⁠ The simplest answer? No. I’m really not.⁠ And I thought for a while yesterday about all the things I could write and all the statistics I could give and all the anecdotes I could offer. But I’m just gonna go ahead and rip the Band-Aid off here....⁠ There is nothing I can do or say that is truly going to make you unafraid. You just have to go out there and get unafraid.⁠ If this answer disappoints you, I’m sorry. I wish I could snap my fingers and erase the stories we’ve all been sold by a world that stands to gain from our fear. But I can’t.⁠ You simply have to decide one day that being afraid isn’t a good enough reason for you anymore.⁠ And then you go out and you live your life.⁠ ------------------------------⁠--⁠ 💛 Follow: @camper.lifestyle⁠ ------------------------------⁠--⁠ Photo: @travywild for @ruffwear in 2019 feat. @briannamadia⁠ ⁠
