Creator of the Earth and Creator of me, you know me better than anyone else. Guide my thoughts. Guide my actions, and help me to shed the fear of missing out so that there can be more freedom to a commitment to loving myself and knowing who I am.

I get it. This commitment-phobe is always nervous about making choices that box me into a commitment, but what if…

What if making a commitment means saying yes to what life has to offer? What if saying yes to freedom means letting go of fear?

Freedom isn’t an ocean you want to spend your life in. Freedom is a river you want to get across so you can plant yourself on the other side — and fully commit to something. — David Brooks

Because there is hope.
There is help for untangling the mess,
and there is freedom in missing out.
