Things We Forget

  • Permission

    I’m scared to start something I might not finish. It would take my own permission to change my mind. What are you most scared to do? Why? Comment to let…

  • Love

    I’m scared to say no to people I love. It would take trusting that love can survive disappointment.

  • Rest

    I’m scared to rest without guilt. It would take believing my worth is not tied to output to get me to do it.

  • Fall

    I’m scared to fail in public. It would take knowing I could recover without being defined by it.

  • Dignity

    I’m scared to ask for help when I need it. It would take proof that needing support won’t cost me my dignity.

  • Safe

    I’m most scared to trust someone with my full story. It would take consistency over time to feel safe doing that.

  • Government

    The government

  • Tone

    I complain about being misunderstood because my tone did not land right. What do you complain about most? Comment to let us know!

  • I complain about words that feel small but work to perpetuate a negative culture.

  • Uncomfortable Chairs

    I complain about chairs that punish you for sitting too long.
