It's Been Awhile
Haven't been to class and practices lately. Sorry. Most of it is due to being sick and really icy roads by my place. Although that's the main reason, if I'm honest, It's not the whole reason I haven't been motivated to go to practices. I do not want to be in the demo. I sort of feel like the only way to get away from it is to not show up. I was reassured I won't be put on stage if I don't want to be, but even practicing now during open training with all these extra people around makes me want to just leave. It's nothing anyone did, and I know everyone is just trying to help me with this fear and I know that intentions are very good by not wanting to make me feel left out, it's a personal thing. It was a giant step for me to even do my form in front of the I Ho Chaun group, but I'm not ready for anything beyond that yet. Yes, I feel bad, but I can't help it. I also understand that a lot of you have anxiety and fears about doing your forms in front of people too, and I admire you for being able to conquer that but I just plain can't right now, I'm just too much of a chicken I guess.
