@mostlysleeping said: Don’t let them try to limit you with fear, because what they are afraid of most is if you disregard the fear they’re planting in your head.
@mostlysleeping said: The schools teach life as if it is a linear path. The truth is that life is just about as open and exciting as the ocean is; you can go many different directions, some obstacles may be prevalent, and you explore new lands and things.
But what if that fear is so integrated in me that it also comes from myself? It is not the ocean that I am afraid of, but my own navigational skills. It’s still the same, deciding which direction to go in and then realising it is the wrong one. My fear of time and wasting it makes me want me to be absolutely sure in my skill, which I am always doubtful of. I only have a certain amount of time before my boat sinks.

I don't believe I saw A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway in your must reads, but I actually suggest to read that book. I just finished it this morning and it was pretty incredible. So that's a suggestion. I have a question though, what coffee do you suggest? Is there a certain coffee that is just incredible to drink? Jamaican Blue Mountain is great but are there others that you've tried? I've been trying to find some really good coffee lately. Sorry for the long ask.
First, thank you for the recommendation; I'll have to add it to my tbr pile.
Second, I don't pretend to know a lot about coffee beans, but I can tell you what my family drinks at home. We are really big fans of Caffe Verona by Starbucks. It makes really awesome espresso.
But, that's just me. So, if anyone else has some suggestions feel free to leave them.
