Wannabe Warrior: Breaking Free of the Dirty Little Lies That Keep Us Small

It turns out that my name means warrior. This definition doesnt suit me at all. Warriors are badass fearless and when the wind blows their billowing hair their luscious locks dont get stuck in their lip gloss. I on the other hand am usually a hot mess of anxiety and fear. I can make a hard choice when necessary but tend to do so only after over-thinking over-analyzing and crying a little bit. I want to become a warrior but my journey has been neither easy nor graceful. When fear overtakes me I remind myself to stop and listen to the whisperings of my inner warrior. Then I fight every urge to run in the opposite direction. I refuse to run anymore. If I am still just for a moment I may be able to overcome my fear. I am not a warrior yet. Im still working on it.I am a warrior-in-training a wannabe warrior.
