I have always had a huge fear of failure. A fear that can leave me paralyzed in terror when it comes to tests, exams and some social situations. I don't feel it when I am on the river. Out there I am bold. Sometimes I try remember that feeling and harness that strength for the real world. I think it can work both ways. Kayaking teaches me to live. Living teaches me to kayak.
