Wow. This is incredibly raw and real. I love how you’ve turned your fears into something tangible - almost like you’re hosting a birthday party for them! (Which, by the way, is such a powerful reframe.)
A few thoughts:
- Mediocrity: The fact that you’re even writing this post proves you’re not mediocre. Mediocre people don’t self-reflect like this. They don’t care. You’re already ahead.
- Regret of not trying: THIS. This is the one that hits me the most. You’re 100% right - both trying and not trying are painful, but only one of them gives you a shot at something extraordinary
And hey, happy early birthday. Keep being this honest with yourself. It’s rare, and it’s how you’ll win in the long run.
P.S. Next year, I want an invite to the fear party. 😉

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I’m sure I’ll keep revisiting this comment when I run into the same fears again.
P.S. I really enjoy your notes and doodles! Please don't stop. That would be my next fear.
