Afraid to Move On


It seems like everything is following me from my past. Everywhere I go, there's always something holding on to me. 

I don't know if I ever want to overcome the past because it seems to be with me everywhere I go. No matter how far I get, it still haunts me.

Moving on scares me...

I wonder what the future has in store for me. 

Should I be afraid? 

Moving on would require me to let go of everything I love and desire. 

It requires a new life, which I'm not ready. Why? Because I'm still stuck in my own past.

Why do I have this feeling of fear? 

There's something missing.

That "something" is holding me back. Should I be afraid of that "something"?

Is that "something" going to help me accomplish or ruin my life?

Oh, I'm afraid to Move on. 

I need to overcome my weaknesses so that I can no longer fear. 

I need to let go of everything that's keeping me from success.

Moving on Scares me.
