You tiptoeing around your art and your voice, wondering why you stuck.
You’re afraid to push your boundary.
Say that, it’s okay.
Then, every day until you do it, tell yourself it’s time to do something different with the fear instead of cower behind it.

Eventually you'll realize that no matter how good you are to people, it won't make them good for you. Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in changing others. Always remember: Love doesn't hurt, projections/expectations do.

Slow down. Talk slower. Walk slower. Stop multitasking when you don’t have to. Do one thing at a time. Do it with intention. Be more present.
