Fear. It consumes us. We all have something we’re afraid of; whether it be big or small. Some of us are scared of animals; such as spiders or mice. Some of us have bigger fears; fear of change; fear of being alone. The fear takes over; we lose all hope, we lose all sense of calm, of rationality. We begin to panic; we begin to react in ways that we shouldn’t. We fight back; we run away. We ignore; we choose to pretend.
The thing is; these fears of ours, they have to be conquered. As much as we’d all like to stay in our little bubbles, unharmed, never facing that which we fear; the fear makes us stronger. The fear makes us better; as scary as it is to even think of….the fear only enhances who we are. Sometimes, our inability to face fear, kills us. Sometimes, it causes us to lose those who are dear to us; sometimes it causes us to lose ourselves. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.Everything else; we can get through, & then we have no fear.It’s certainly not easy. It’s going to be hard. Some of us will have to face being alone; going through change; doing this ourselves, without help. Some of us will have help.
Whatever you fear; you can conquer it. Don’t lose hope.
