Our tales for today are

Uinta Mountains - There are certain things in life that are obviously scary and you kind of know you’ll eventually run into them; the first horror movie you watch, the first time you have to do laundry in the basement with nobody home, your first heart pounding near miss traffic accident, your first encounter with death and illness. These are the ones that as a child you suss out early and have a notion of as something you’ll have to deal with at some time down the line. But there is another moment that nobody prepares you for, that you never think of and never see coming until it sears through your heart like a white hot blade. That’s the moment the person you look up to, that you love and admire the most, is so scared they can’t hide their fear for your benefit, that they are so frightened of something beyond their ability to explain or fight that they are, for the first time in your eyes, shrunk back down to human sized. When the one you think of as a giant is terrified…you should run… Thank you /itssarahsugar

Followed in the Woods - Confidence is one of the key ingredients for success. It gives us the self-assuredness needed to take risks and to believe in ourselves. Many would agree that the right amount of confidence is not just appealing but rather attractive and admirable. Confidence is the foundation of charisma, which, as we know, can take a person very far in life indeed. But, like anything, too much confidence can be a killer. Overconfidence can convince us that we are stronger, more intelligent, more capable than maybe we are. Overconfidence can lead us into dangerous situations. Overconfidence can even get us killed.… Thank you /DylonNotNylon
