I see you, Fear. I feel you rising, in the pit of my stomach, wrapping around my self-sabotaging thoughts, twisting around my gut, freezing my movements.
But I understand now that you’re not my enemy … you’re just a messenger that we tend to give to much power to, and you’re actually here to remind me how deeply I care about this life.
So, I’ll honor you, Fear.
But I will not bow down to you anymore.
I’ve gone through the darkest days and nights of my life <was that really me, I sometimes wonder>, but I’m still standing. No, I’m standing taller, with my feet planted more firmly than even now. Beneath me, I managed to create a foundation of strength that cannot <and will not> be shaken.
I’m not the person I once was. That woman fought so that I could be here, reborn today, sober and clear-minded, with all the wisdom and strength I earned through every trial I’ve faced. <literal and figurative.>
Fear, I’ll let you walk beside me.
But my Courage leads the way.
Now, I stand, grounded …
not despite my fear, but because I am greater, steadier, stronger, taller, fuller, greater than it.
