It was really hard guys my legs were shaking, I felt butterflies in my stomach, I felt so insecure I felt like turning back and rushing back home but I was in the middle of the journey, so I had to shut my eyes and walk.But am not doing that again I give up . Home is much more saffer away from judgemental eyes and rapists

Jojojina, when we worry about things that might happen, it makes our world

smaller and smaller. Before long we are not living, just existing.

If anything, you did find out that jelly legs and butterflies in your stomach will still

take you to your goal. You didn't give up even when you wanted to rush home.

That was a win for you Jojojina. You proved to Anxiety, that you were stronger than

it. Can you walk with a friend or family member next time? I really hate to see you

give up that step forward that you took. Great Job dear.... :) xx

Thank you I could have done it without you guys. knowing I had your support I managed. And yes am used to walk with my mum, she knows I have anxiety problems and she was shocked I managed😭😭 thank you so much. But from tomorrow we will be walking together. But I need to grow since within 6 months I will be heading for college. It gives me the goosebumps but I need to face my fears
