I keep hiding inside preparation

Dear Delyara, I know how to prepare so beautifully that even I can confuse it with progress. Lists, research, refinement, thought, perfect timing, one more week, one more version, one more layer of readiness. It all sounds intelligent, responsible, mature. Sometimes it is. Other times, it is just fear in a respectable coat. Fear does not always make me freeze. Sometimes it makes me prepare so thoroughly that real movement never quite begins. That is one of the habits I most want to break. It has stolen enough already.
