# Risks in Plain Sight

On a quiet winter evening in late 2025, as snow dusts the window, I think about risks.md—not as code or files, but as a quiet invitation to live more fully. It's a reminder that naming what scares us strips away its shadow.

## The Shadow of Silence

We all carry unspoken fears: a new job, a heartfelt confession, a bold change. Left unnamed, they grow heavy, twisting our steps. I've felt this—a decision hovering, draining energy before it's even made. But when we speak them plainly, like words on a page, they shrink. No drama, just truth.

## Writing to See Clearly

Imagine a simple list, like a Markdown note:
- The chance of rejection.
- The quiet cost of time.
- The spark of what might grow.

This act—jotting them down—turns fog into path. It's not about avoiding risk, but greeting it. In my own life, outlining a career shift this way revealed not terror, but possibility. Clarity breeds calm.

## Stepping Forward Anyway

With risks named, we move. Not recklessly, but with eyes open. This is the gentle philosophy of risks.md: document, reflect, advance. It's how small lives become stories worth telling—richer for the edges we dared.

*In the end, the greatest risk is letting fear stay unnamed.*
