This is a stunning story, Claudia! Love your imaginative and descriptive use of language to amp in the terror, grief, and anxiety! I've wondered how to go out this topic. You dove in head first. Remarkable!

Nothing will hold you back as thoroughly as the fear of not being good enough. Confidence and a willingness to fail top talent most days of the week. Do it now. Try. Whatever it is. Or I guarantee you will watch people less prepared and not as skilled live your dreams while you wait for perfection.
