I was afraid of losing my family. Then after i had lost them, i was afraid that i made the rong decision. I think my tolerance for things to go wrong is higher than it was a great place to be. It's much more comfortable, n tell you that. Now, writing it’s helping me a lot. Is the way that i'm sure the first educated probably helped me a lot too. And so i would say the writing at the end of the book is more like what i'm trying to do now,. which i don't do very much in the book.
Tara Westover is the author of Educated.
“I used to be so fearful. ... I was afraid of losing my family. Then, after I had lost them, I was afraid that I made the wrong decision. Then I wrote the book and I was afraid that was the wrong decision. Everything made me frightened back then, and I just—I don't have that feeling now.”
