I’ve always known I was afraid of failure. However, recently I realized success scares me just as much if not more than failure. Logically it doesn’t make sense.

I want to complain. I know, I know, nobody likes a complainer, but sometimes life is so frustrating I just want to complain. The most annoying part is I know how to fix most of my problems. The problem is making those changes are so hard. I make goals and plans and think of every possible…
