To Fear – Anitra Lahiri

by Anitra Lahiri, RYT-500


I see you, Fear. I feel you rising, in the pit of my stomach, wrapping around my self-sabotaging thoughts, twisting around my gut.

But I understand now that you’re not my enemy — you’re a messenger, here to remind me how deeply I care about this life, to help me remember the vast well of courage I’ve cultivated within myself. So, I honor you, Fear. But I will not bow to you anymore.

I’ve walked through fire, but I’m still standing. Beneath me, a foundation of strength that cannot and will not be shaken. What once almost broke me has become the very thing that makes me shaterproof.

I am not the person I once was. That person 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 Courage leads the way.
Now, I stand tall … not despite my fear, but because I am greater than it.
