I'm okay in traffic for the most part, but I can get freaked out on technical or fast downhills. I did a long downhill in Tennessee in the rain a few years ago that I swear took a year off my life. It was all I could do to coax myself down, I was shaking so hard.
You might look into whether the League of American Bicyclists is offering a Traffic 101 class in your area. That's a good way to gain some confidence and skills.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
