A Fear I No Longer Let Run the Show

Fear used to make my decisions for me.

Fear of failing.

Fear of disappointing people.

Fear of being misunderstood.

I don’t pretend fear is gone — but it doesn’t get the final say anymore.

I’ve learned that fear doesn’t mean stop. It usually means this matters. And I’m done letting fear decide the limits of my life.

I move forward scared.

I choose myself anyway.

And that’s the bravest thing I’ve done so far.
