a ramble on comfort: we find comfort in stasis but freedom in new & scary situations we can't predict. you can only know your comfort zone by stepping out of it. and every time you do, it widens a little. so does your being, and so does your contentment.
...and along with time, the consequences of our inaction. you'll always experience a certain amount of anxiety with change & new arenas of thought and interaction. that's all part and parcel. what's more terrifying is if you never push yourself enough to fear at all.
