Writing Streak Week 11 Day 1

The truth is I am not as unbothered as I paint myself to be.
I worry. I stress. I get scared.
When everything quiets down, when the doors are closed,
the waves of uncertainty I've held back gradually rise.
I have to be this. I got to do that.
I need. I need. I NEED.
Slowly, I've found a way to calm those waves.
To take a deep breath...and relax.
I'm still worrying, I'm still stressing, and I'm still scared of the path ahead. 
But I'll take it one step at a time.
