It's sort of funny how at every age in your life as you go though experiences, you think that this has to be the hardest thing I'm ever going to go through. And then something else happens. And every time it feels terrifying and unnerving and you don't know how you will get through it. Yet somehow, every time you do. Every time I do.
And every time I go through an experience now, I'm less scared. Even when that first pang of fear and uncertainty hits you like a freight train, I have a different kind of understanding, perhaps a maturity, that calms me. It stabilizes me.
