Afraid of Fear


Are we really afraid of death or is it fear of being forgotten? Are we really afraid to fall in love or is it fear of getting hurt? Are we really afraid of knowing strangers or is it fear of being left? Are we really afraid of the future or is it fear of forgetting the past? Sometimes the fear that holds us back is much smaller than we think. We get eaten by these fears that is masked with bigger words. We got blinded, we stopped moving forward. These fears that bind us to the ground are things we can overcome. Let’s open ourselves, flow free, and live the life destined for us.
