at the heart of your deepest, darkest challenge

In the past cou­ple weeks, two sep­a­rate peo­ple said they think of me as “fear­less.”

They’re right and wrong.
 

I’ve done some bold shit.

Fought in a tele­vised kick­box­ing match,

de­fend­ed my work on a na­tion­al stage against se­nior authorities,

loved peo­ple that oth­ers said were “dan­ger­ous,”

fol­lowed my in­stincts against all ad­vice and warnings —
 

I fear no one and nothing —

ex­cept my own mind.
 

I’ve had to learn since child­hood how to stay reg­u­lat­ed in my own wak­ing consciousness.

I’ve spent some stretch­es of time so dis­reg­u­lat­ed that I fear wak­ing up in the morning.

I know re­sis­tance intimately.
 

I am not fearless.

I just un­der­stand my assignments …
 

and that gives me some­thing to smile about.
