0:00.0	This time of year always reminds me how much I have actually grown.
0:06.0	And on a flip side, how much I still avoid.
0:10.0	You cannot heal what you don't face.
0:12.0	So I made a list, a list of questions that I usually sidestep,
0:17.0	the ones that stop me dead in my tracks, the ones that make me squirm a little bit,
0:21.5	and maybe even make me feel a little icky inside, the ones that hold the mirror up to my
0:27.7	habits, my relationships, my fears, and the parts of me that I tend to tuck away so no one else
