What can you expect

Without passion, determination, and courage? It can be so hard to open up to others and let them see who you truly are; it is difficult to let people see your flaws, your desires, your ambitions. But it is this risk that we take, to be vulnerable to others, that truly allows to overcome obstacles. For me, I struggle with this every day, & I always feel as if I have to hold back in front of others. But this has honestly held me back from so many opportunities, and as much as I wish I wasn't, I am a very reserved, quiet person. We can not fight who we are, but it is with true hard work and determination that we can get past our fears. I'm glad I got a reality check today; I actually feel a bit enlightened. I will persevere and try to reach my goals; and I will finally become comfortable with the person that I am.
