Writing down my fear in permanence

Writing down my fear in permanence, Because the only thing I have to fear, is myself. I wasn’t even sure I was going to do NaPo this year, which is ironic, right? A whole month dedicated to poetry, and I'm supposed to be a poet. But I think, deep down, I was afraid. Afraid I wouldn’t live up to the expectations I’d set for myself; expectations I hadn’t even fully admitted were there. Fear has a way of doing that. Of creeping in, twisting things until they don’t make sense, making you second-guess what you love. It lingers in the air we breathe, in the moments we hesitate, in the weight of the unknown. It’s irrational, consuming, and sometimes impossible to escape. So this month, I want to explore fears & phobias. Not just my own, but all kinds. I want to write about what it’s like to live with a fear that can dictates every moment, from hesitation to panic. What do you fear? Why do you fear? What is fear to you?

@Avian AHHH I’m so sorry, T-T I don't know how I missed your comment!! I’m really happy you enjoyed my NaPo thread; writing poetry this month has been such a blast!! Also, thank you for taking the time to read my poetry, it genuinely means a lot to know that someone loves me enough to read my silly lil writings! <3<3

You know, ଳjellyfishଳ can't swim or shine on their own, but once they absorb light from around them, they're able to shine for themselves! So maybe...I can, too! If I'm around you, maybe I'll be able to shine, too? -

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
