# Risks.md: A Quiet Inventory

## Naming What Scares Us

There's comfort in a simple file called "risks.md." It holds no drama, just plain words listing what could falter—a job change, a deep conversation, a quiet hope pursued. By naming them, we pull fears from shadows into light. No need for elaborate stories; the act of writing makes them smaller, more human.

## Daily Marks and Changes

Life unfolds like editing that file. We add lines as days pass, strike through those that pass harmlessly. Some stay bolded, reminders of ongoing tension. Others fade to notes, lessons learned without fanfare.

- A walk in uncertain weather, testing trust in the path.
- Reaching out to someone distant, risking silence.
- Planting a seed in poor soil, anyway.

Each edit builds familiarity. Risks don't vanish, but they become familiar companions, not tyrants.

## The Courage to Render

In the end, we share the file—not perfectly polished, but readable. Living means letting others see our drafts, vulnerabilities exposed. It's how we connect, grow, and find others with matching lists.
