Love The Fear Of The Unknown | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Are you going to let anxiety hold you hostage? Stop now. Say, "Fuck off dude." We have to face anxiety head-on which is terrifying but we cannot let fear control us.

Instead, recognize that anxiety is the fear of the unknown. Fear hates when we ignore them so ignore your fears. Piss anxiety off. Take a deep breath and encourage yourself to go carpe diem the day, you deserve it.

Once you can accept that anxiety is a part of you than you can move on from it. We have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Now is the time to live in the present. This life is too short to live in fear.

We are mortal beings, meant to live, laugh, and love. Cliche, I know, but cliches are cliches for a reason.

Welcome anxiety in. Glance over your shoulder and say, "Hey dude, I see you there but I am going to go out tonight and you are going deal with it." Now go out. You did the most important step by telling anxiety you see them but choose not to obey their rules.

The universe wants you to live fully in the present. To be grateful for this precious life doing whatever it is that makes you happy. To lather yourself in immense amounts of self-care and self -love.

Once you can kick fear to the curb you open the open doors to discovering who you really are. This gives you the chance to find your passions, your goals, your pet peeves, what makes you laugh, what makes you smile, what makes you you.

Your opportunity to reveal your most authentic self is now. GO find them. Love your authenticity unconditionally, you just have to get rid of the fear of the unknown. You can. I know you can. I know you will.

Treat fear with excitement. Alter your reality. We are our reality. Instead of fearing the unknown look at it as a journey of the future. Life would be so boring if we knew what came next or how our world would play out. There would be no excitement. No gratitude. Gratitude is significant, we should appreciate every moment we experience. These moments allow us to learn to love and transform. Change is vital for our growth. Without change, we would not bloom.

Are you ready to tell fear to fuck off and dive into the infinite possibilities of growth?

The answer is yes. Yes, you are, now plunge into the plethora of gardens awaiting your bloom.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
