In her magazine, she asked "if you had no fear, you would...."
My first thought was - live the life that I was meant to live. For me, a big part of that was shedding myself of Wxh and all of his bullshit.
I am truly living that life. A very empowering moment for me when that was my first thought.
I hope that this thought gives hope to those of you out there struggling with your NB.

I can think of a zillion things. However as a terminal anxious scaredy cat they will continue to be thoughts and not actions.
But then again, some of the things I would do if I weren't afraid are probably illegal so I embrace the anxiety and fright that keeps me out of prison. Because of all the things I'm afraid of, that scares me the most of all.

Honestly... if I had no fear, I'd probably quit my job. Most of my fears are pretty rational at this point though.

If I had no fear I'd quit my boring office job and start a business. A food truck or a B&B.

I have lived the last 21 years of my life with very little fear and few regrets. Expressed my love freely, lived by the golden rule and really don't have much left undone to make up a bucket list, eithet.

Love this! Makes you think.
Without fear, though, we wouldn't survive. Our species wouldn't survive.
So, without fear I would probably quit my job, pursue art, move to another state. Would I survive or not? Don't know. Just not willing (right now) to find out. Too many people are dependent on me. Maybe a little fear is healthy? Or am I just stuck?
True happiness comes from within, not from someone else. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy

Nope, HUM, I agree with you, a little fear is healthy.
My fear keeps my bills paid.
