It’s in a whole different category but your thoughts on solo gigs reminds me of my old days shooting portraits and weddings. At some point I completely reviled it and started saying no, even to my good friends. There’s nothing wrong with falling out of a hobby/gig especially if it gives you the heebie jeebies!! And the weight lifted feels so good once it’s off!

Yes, I'm coming around to that idea. I don't know why it's taken me so long. I'd still say yes if my pal were to come back for a visit. F

The question I keep asking is, 'when is anxiety something to push through and when is it not?' I suppose that's a personal decision for everyone. I'm glad to have made it.

Nice to see your using 'heebie jeebies'. I thought that was a Scots phrase lol!

Haha! I love that phrase! Someone once compared fear of doing something to being on a high dive looking into a pool. If the pool is just full of water, push yourself to jump in. If the pool is full of writhing snakes and spiders and other creepy crawlies, it’s ok to pass!
