Hey, fear.
Yes, I’m talking to you!
Surprised?
I imagine you are.
You are not used to seeing me, up close.
You were used to seeing me, fear, with my head down.
Afraid.
Afraid to:
Feel.
Acknowledge.
Hurt.
Cry.
I was always told I couldn’t cry. I was always till I had to be strong. I was always told that I could never be afraid.
So, I learned to be terrified of you, fear. After a while, fear, I forgot why I was supposed to fear…you?
I have learned.
I learn, still.
To:
Feel.
Acknowledge.
Hurt.
Cry.
For, I know, I am not strong. I don’t have to be.
Still, I am loved.
Still, I am not alone.
I shall continue to be…me.
Unapologetically.
Sometimes, afraid.
Loved, alway!
Yes, fear, ALL you do, when you show your face, is give me yet the opportunity to love, in spite of, because of, despite you!
I have to go now, fear. You thought you stopped me. You didn’t. I got thangs to do!
doing thangs unapologetically,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: This blog has changed my life. Truly. It has forced me to get to know…Me! Don’t be afraid, beloveds. To, ask. To, wonder. To, wander. To, fear. To, fret. To, feel.
Turn down, the noise. Listen, to your heart. Be encouraged. You are loved and not alone.
