Remember that time..

You know that time you felt nervous before you stood up in front of a group?

And that time when you thought everyone was glaring at you?

And that time when you forgot to say something really important?

And that time you wished the floor would open up and swallow you?

And that time something happened that really surprised you?

And that time when you thought you weren’t up to the task, but as it turns out, you were?

And that time you tried something really, really risky and it paid off?

And that time when you tried something really, really risky and it flopped?

And that time when you named what was really going on, and there was that uncomfortable pause, and then a collective out breath?

And that time when you thought to yourself, ‘why do I do this?’

And that time when you thought to yourself, ‘this is why I do this!’

Me too.
