Sometimes it’s all too easy to get swept up in “what-ifs”. The idea that there could have been a wholly different version of me, leading some richer life, had I not been so paralysed by anxiety. In being too shy to talk to a stranger did I miss out on meeting my new best friend? What remarkable opportunities passed by simply because I didn’t have the confidence to put myself out there? There’s no way to change the past, but the future is still yet to be written. If a better life was that close to your grasp once before, who knows what new changes for the better might be just one small step outside your comfort zone away. ‘Try’, the latest single from Belwood favourite Hannah Grace, is all about breaking out of the grip of fear and doubt one small step at at time. This beautiful ballad is a welcome reminder that for every outcome you fear, there are just as many ways each day can turn out better than you hoped. We can’t banish all our anxiety and insecurities with the wave of a hand, and not every chance we take will pay off, but it’s only through trying that we open ourselves up to new possibilities. Regardless of the outcome, every moment we’re able to silence our self-doubt, overcome our fears, and have a little faith in ourselves, is a triumph worth celebrating.
