This could actually work. And that’s terrifying.

TL;DR:
Last week, I made Remeria public.
People responded.
And suddenly… I’m not just dreaming anymore.

I didn’t freeze this time.
That’s what I did before.

Before last week, I sat on a 7-year vision.
Overthought every angle. Waited for the perfect time.
Then kept waiting.

But I finally sent the damn email.
Made it public. Said it out loud.

And now?

It’s real.

People responded.
Donations came in.
New AE members joined.
Not just ideas anymore, actual movement.

And that’s what’s terrifying.

Because when something lives in your head, it can be anything.
But once it’s out in the open, it becomes what it is.
You can’t control how it’s received. You just keep building and hope it lands.

That’s where I’m at.
Hope rising.
Doubt whispering.
Wondering if I just shared something that might grow… or might not.

I lay in bed at 1 a.m., wiped out,
and the words started pouring in.
Sentences that hit.
Things I’ve never said out loud.
I know I need to get up and write, because if I wait, they’ll be gone.

And maybe that’s what this whole thing is,
a body of work that scares the hell out of me
because it’s the most honest thing I’ve ever done.

There’s a risk in sharing this in real time.

Because what if I’m wrong?
What if it fails publicly?
What if I pour everything into this and it still goes nowhere?

But here’s the bigger risk:
Staying silent.
Pretending I don’t care this much.
Letting the fear of getting it wrong keep me from ever doing it at all.

I don’t know what your version of this is…
But I’d bet there’s something inside you, too.
An idea. A knowing. A next step you haven’t taken yet because… what if it doesn’t work?

Or maybe the scarier question:
What if it does?

That edge you’re sitting on, it’s not fear or failure.
It’s aliveness.
And it’s where things start moving.

You don’t have to launch a nonprofit or write at 1 a.m.
But if there’s something tugging at you, something that won’t let go,
Maybe this is your week to move.

No polished plan.
No perfect timing.
Just doing the thing that’s been sitting in the back of your mind for way too long.

That’s what I’m doing.
And maybe you are too.

We keep going.
