That is the question

So, “to be or not to be.” Shakespeare’s giant question, right? Basically the OG overthinking spiral. For me, it’s less about life or death and more about showing up. To be means putting myself out there, flaws and all, taking risks, saying yes when it scares me. Not to be? That’s hiding, staying small, letting the moment pass because I convinced myself it wasn’t worth it.
And sure, I’ve done both. But these days, I’m leaning into to be. Because I’d rather stumble through something real than sit quietly on the sidelines wondering what could’ve happened.
