My Dear Friend, Fear
Sometimes excitement disguses itself as fear especially when fear equals survival.
I was born into a hindered and limited capacity of love.
Fear stood beside me and comforted me.
I am scared
Held out its hand and embraced me.
I am scared
Hugged me tightly when the storms raged on.
I am scared
Wiped my tears away as the chaos commenced and showed me a safe place to hide.
I am scared
Fear saved me.
Thank you Fear for keeping me alive but now I am ready to live.
Thank you Fear for teaching me but now I am ready for my next lesson.
Thank you Fear for protecting me when I felt no safety but now I can protect myself.
Thank you Fear for rasing me but now I am grown .
I will never forget you and some days I will still need you. But I no longer need you for my survival. The storms cleared long ago. The waters are calm. I am in control. Thank you my dear friend but I am ready to let go. My future awaits. Excitement isn't so scary.

I love the message of this. I’ve been trying so hard the last few years to put myself out there. And it’s the scariest fin thing that I’ve ever done, but… also the most worthy.
I think we forget that fear is scary for like the first two seconds. Then it turns into something worthy. So what we actually need to do, is simply show up. That’s half the battle.
Thank you for sharing this, it’s wonderful.

Thank you so much for reading. I've had a lot of big life changes recently. I just got married and moved to a new country and I'm still trying to adjust. I'm working on getting out of a trauma/survival mode mindset and embracing my new life.
And yes, I completely agree with just showing up! Just do it and see what happens! Most of the time the outcome isn't the worst case scenario. This is something I have to remind myself everyday.
Again thanks for reading and thanks for the comment. Much appreciated :)
