I am afraid of anything that is not known to me… I try to avoid it. If and when I do, somehow, a feeling of panic and alarm engulfs me as if devouring me whole. I do not really understand where this feeling of anxiety is coming from or why it scares the hell out of me. Perhaps the impression of failing or doing something embarrassing is getting into my nerves. I’m wary of trying new things yet I am in anticipation of knowing, of learning, of experiencing them… anticipation is there but fear prevails most of the times.
I dream a lot… I dream big. I dream of far and distant places, places I have not been to… BUT that’s just it. It remains a dream.
What’s keeping me? FEAR… How do I overcome it? When will I finally make my dream a reality? Will I be forever under the shadow of this four-letter monster? Who can help me? Is there a cure? Perhaps these were among those mind-boggling questions I have always searched for answers.
I’m dying to know the secrets of those people who took the risk of facing the unknown. I am forever in awe of these brave hearts. I hope one day I will live among those who took the road less traveled.
Are you one of them?
