Chapters

I think it was all about how you talk to yourself. So, like, every time I would sort of stand in front of the steep roof and think about all the things that could happen if I fell off. Really just like, sort of talking to myself gently and kindly and saying, you don't have to do it. You know, like, you can walk away right now and somebody else can do it, and that's okay, but you have to make that decision. That's a big decision to say, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to let fear decide this for me. And every time I'd say, no, I'm not going to let this fear make me walk away from this.
