Afraid

Fear is what governs the human mind. Fear is what controls our perception of right and wrong. Fear is what compels us to succeed and thus it is fear that must be overcome in order to be free(in a sense).

I am afraid of a lot of things and I think almost everyone is afraid of these things, the things that I am afraid of are the fear of the unknown, the fear of being afraid, the fear of being alone, the fear of being ‘ not good enough’ or the fear of being unwanted. These fears are inherent and invariable. People who claim to be ‘fearless’ are actually the people who are the most afraid. One cannot overcome fear, one can only embrace it.

I’ve heard people say follow your heart or listen to your heart, but if I listened to my heart, I would have been lost. This is because the heart is one of want and not one of need. The mind is our guard to our Oblivion. And the mind is controlled by our fear.

People say that the ones who ‘fail’ are afraid of their darkness.

BUT,

It is not my darkness that I fear, it’s losing my light that terrifies me.
