Fear is a Prison


You think that fear is a prison. From which you will never escape. You're afraid every awful thing you've done. Afraid of all the mistakes you could possibly make. But you have to think about it. All those things you did were in the past. Then look towards the future. And you will see at last. That your insecurities, mistakes, abnormalities, and imperfections. Are things that don't actually need any corrections. Fear isn't a prison. Maybe a holding cell. Because later you will be free. And all will be well.
