Wednesday April 3, 2024 | Journal prompt: How can you translate your childhood dreams into adult realities?

All my life I thought I had to do what my parent's said to do.  Now that I am 50 and have selective mutism, I have to stay in the house and be safe.  Childhood dreams?  People might make fun of me for even trying.  Then I have to beg for a ride to get there.  So what's the point in it at all?  What I really need someone to do is that they need to say some positive things to me to even get me motivated.  Right now I am living off other people's anxiety disorder which makes mine even more crippling.  So crippling that I can't even step out of the house I am living in.  geez what is that called?  Is that even true?
