Whether you’re putting yourself out there for someone, whether you’re putting yourself out there for a job, whether you’re putting yourself out there wearing a new color, whatever it is, how do you know unless you try? Just try. It’s okay. You can go back to what you were doing before if you don’t like it, but just try.”
