Baby steps! Be okay with just taking baby steps ❤ it's okay to move slow and to have fears, but don't let them rule your life. Pick somewhere to go or something to do. Make a weekly library trip, or volunteer at a soup kitchen. Keep it consistent so it doesn't mess you up, but don't stop doing it. Then, when you're ready, do it a little more often. Take those baby steps to open yourself back up.
