The ‘unknown’ is unpredictable, it can be a tiny spider, or something that sparks a ghoulie presence in the dark.
You might think that with the right amount of knowledge, you can free yourself of the mindless guessing; that a spider won’t necessarily kill you unless it’s widowed, that spirits won’t necessarily haunt you unless it’s lonely.
Sometimes, what
scares you the most doesn’t even exist. The feeling of being crushed, wave after
wave until you start to doubt your consciousness. You know it’s your mind
tripping on some broken memories, but it feels too real to be ignored.
Every turn is unpredictable, and that’s what makes life interesting.
At times it seems there’s no way you could move on without crossing paths with fear. In a comforting way, fear isn’t there to warn you of dangers or downfalls, or stop you from moving forward.
Oddly enough, fear
is there to help you be afraid of your dreams and goals, telling you the possibility
that they might, one day, come true. Fear is the ‘unknown’, it is something
that you believe in, be it good or bad, something that adds colour to the
impossible and gives life to darkness.
We shouldn’t ask the question of “how to avoid fear?”, or “how to not fear anything?”, because being fearful of nothing at all makes you numb at being brave, yet lost at knowing yourself.
We should be grateful to be scared, to be assured that even in the worse of times, we are still brave enough to have the courage to say “I’m scared of doing this”, and do it anyway.
