Fear is a trick of the mind. It's constantly checking behind closed doors or under beds. To ensure there are no monsters hiding under the bed or in the closet. These are different from the ones in my head, convincing myself that I will never become something great. Because the truth is I'm scared of change and I'm scared of the future; constantly trying to predict my every move and any possible outcomes.
I put on a brave face and life goes on.
The fear is still there, sometimes its taking a nap or hiding away until it find the perfect moment to present itself, yet again. I am reminded of my fears, sending myself into a frenzy. I got through the last one and I can get thrugh this one. Fear is pretending you aren't scared.
Fear is what pushes you to become a better person. The person you've been wanting to be, is waiting on the other side of the mountain, but first you have to get over your fear of heights. Climb that mountain like the person you're supposed to be. Fear of failure is what keeps us going. Its in the moments of silence, where the what if's start to creep in, that you really start to believe in yourself and prove them wrong.
What if I'm making the wrong choice?
What if I fail my test?
What if I change my major?
What if I change my major again?
What if I end up unhappy with my life?
What if I never fall in love?
What if you're doing everything right...?
Do not let fear consume you. It will learn to take over your life if you let it. It will weave into the cracks and make a home out of a place where its not welcomed. Instead welcome fear, with open arms and warm words. Learn to befriend fear. It will become one of the best decisions you will make. You will learn to try new things even though you're scared. Do not let fear treat you like a punching bag, and instead start punching back. Own your fear like a boss and keep moving forward. Fear will stop you from doing amazing things, but it will also make you do crazy things. It will make you do things that you would have never dreamed of doing, but in the end, you will be thankful for that. Fear is like a really tall building, you have to go through a lot of levels to get to the top. Yu may be scared on your way, but the view is so worth it.
