I want to turn around.  I don’t know if this is the right direction. I might get lost.  I don’t think I am ready.  I am afraid.  I can’t do it alone.  I miss my old life.  I need better shoes. What if I meet someone who knows me?  What if I look like a fool?  How can I be sure?  Why should I bother?  What if nothing comes of it? What if I fail?  

What is your excuse at the second step?
