Fighting the Fear


“Always do what you are afraid to do”

A phrase my mother taught me to live by but I struggle to accomplish

Fear of failure, of being judged, of being alone

Fear rules everyone's lives whether they know it or not

Getting over a fear is a daily battle that I have to fight, and those dragons aren't slayed easily

I learned that working on yourself is an important step in self love from this experience

I am still learning the experiences and working through fears just like everyone else
