About 9 months ago I was asked, “What are you afraid of?” I waited and processed that question for a while; my mind completely blank up until the speaker for the week confronted me, asking me directly. “Zoe, What are you afraid of?” Without the ability to stop the words coming out of my mouth, without being able to consciously know what I was about to say until I heard myself say it, I said
