This trip has taught me that I still get embarrassed and uneasy around strangers whom I have to interact with. And I realised that I have been letting myself stay in my comfort zone for too long. I have gotten too comfortable to move out of it and have started to fear the unknown.

Has the recent years been a regression? I don't want that to continue. Time to push myself!

You frustrate me to no end. The older you get, the worse it becomes.
