I read it on the internet two years back and this is something I want all of you to read. It helped me so much at that time, you know, when you are a complete teenager, so full of dreams, so full of life and you have this passion to achieve everything you have ever wanted to and all. And deep down you are scared of whats and buts. Fear is the only thing that will limit you and stop you from being yourself. But ones you learn to accept the worst you will be the best, you have my words on this.
Here’s the poem.
“You are not scared of the dark, you are scared of what’s in it.
You are not afraid of hights, you are afraid of falling.
You are not afraid of people around you, you are afraid of rejection.
You are not afraid to love, you are afraid of not being loved back.
You are not afraid of letting go, you are afraid of excepting the truth that the person is gone.
You are not afraid of trying again, you are afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.”
– Ezinwanne Dominion
Now ask yourself, do all these things really matter? Can’t we overcome them and be the untamed, unedited version of yourselves? Yes sometimes we need to change for our own good but never for someone else to accept us.
We need to learn that it’s okay to have fears, it’s okay to be imperfect, it’s absolutely okay to not be okay but what is not okay is to let you fear limit the potential in you.
Think about it and share your thoughts in the comment.
Thank you for reading.
