Sitting here at lunch toying with the idea of opening an Etsy store. To be completely honest I’m afraid of failure. What if I put myself out there and nothing happens? I used to be more courageous. Like I could do anything ya know? But live long enough and failure becomes a reality. I failed at marriage. I failed at friendship a few times. I failed at writing. I failed at weight loss. The list is long. So why try?
Why? Because it doesn’t make sense not to. I’ve had successes though I can’t think of any because my brain is working against me right now… but they exist. They do. I just need to sit here a bit longer and figure things out.
What fear do you have?
HASTYWORDS 
Failure. Death. Being forgotten. Sharks.
Lots of things, apparently.
I hope you are pleasantly surprised by how well your art sells if you do start a shop.

Failed at writing? Huh? Not that I’ve noticed. I know next to nothing about Esty stores, but I say to go for it. After all, if you don’t somehow find homes for those paintings you’ll end up with a spare bedroom of some such filled with them.

Thank you. Man my brain is all kinds of bully the last few days. I’m going to do this. It’s where my heart wants to go so my brain just needs time to get on board. ❤️❤️

HASTY – Is the only thing to fear, fear itself?
