Scared of losing the people I love. Scared of losing myself in the battle. Scared of people, nature. Even scared of my own reflection in the mirror.
In school we all learn about history, math, all kinds of verbs but what we don't learn is how to stand up for each other, how to stand up for ourselves, how to face our fears. But instead of facing our fears we try to hide it. We hide our weakness so that the people who want to see can't get close. So they won't see your fears. But everyone is afraid of something. It's okay to be afraid of spiders, the dark, an open door, or even for waking up or going to bed at night. It's okay. We did not learn how to be brave at school. But we do have a lifetime to learn how to life with fears, how to show does fears to other. We have a lifetime to proof that fear is not what makes you weak. What makes you weak is hiding your fear.
