Fear

Fear is just such a funny thing. We say fear we one thing but in reality, when you look at it closely you fear another. Those who are afraid of speaking up; it's not the talking their afraid of but the scrutiny that may follow. Those who fear heights; it's not the distance above that's feared but in reality it's that they're afraid of falling. They're haunted by the thought  falling and hitting the cold hard ground. Those who fear darkness; it's not the darkness they fear but instead it's what lies beneath. It's the monsters they create in their mind. Love and friendship, it's not the act of it that's scary but the fear of rejection. The fear of not meeting the standards or being good enough. All these fears. All these things have one thing in common. It's not the fear but instead the thing your mind creates to make you afraid. All these that I've just said. They are things that scare the living hell out me. But then I took a step and looked at it. I realized that I let my mind create something out of a simple idea that was nothing of be afraid of. I think that if we all took a step back and just looked. If we faced the thing that scared us most,ourselves, we would be able to conquer the world. Fears are boundaries created in mind to stop us from doing things we want. These boundaries stop us from achieving the things we want to achieve and lead to regret not doing some thing in that split second that was passed. It's hard to get over but once you face it nothing can stop you. That's just my two cents
