A heartbeat quickens,
In the dark, uncertainty,
Monsters in the mind.

Journey into the Mind
In my mind, a journey unfolds,
A tale of warmth or fright it holds.
By day and night, a mystery clear,
With joy and strength, or doubt and fear.
In bright moments, confidence glows,
While shadows of doubt creep in, it shows.
Two paths I tread, one calm, one wild,
A journey of hearts, both fierce and mild.
Holding You in my Heart
In the quiet of the night,
Fears creep in, a bubbling fright.
Thoughts of being all alone,
Without a friend, a heart, a home.
Life feels tough, the path unclear,
A helping hand can calm my fear.
A partner’s voice, a family’s care,
Brings warmth and love, a bond so rare.
With every day, I take a step,
Facing doubts, I won’t forget.
I’ll find the strength to stand up tall,
For in my heart, love conquers all.
Shadows of Fear
Fear of judgment lingers,
Tightly grasping what we know.
Letting go is hard,
Leaves no space for us to grow,
In shadows, dreams remain low.
Shadows of Abandonment
Fear of abandonment is real,
It leaves a wound that cannot heal.
Trust slips away like sand grains.
Loneliness calls to me.
Hope flickers, dim light.
Shadows to fall.
Time moves slow.
Pain builds.

Facing My Fears
Daily writing prompt
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
The thing that I fear the most is being judged in anything that I do. It’s a silent anxiety that often holds me back from fully participating or expressing myself in various situations. This fear has been a part of me for as long as I can remember, lurking in the background and influencing my decisions.
I’ve been working on this with my therapist, and I can confidently say I’ve made significant progress. Through various techniques and exercises, I’ve learned to challenge the negative thoughts that arise when I feel the weight of potential judgment. I’ve started to understand that everyone has their insecurities, and most people are focused on their own lives rather than critiquing mine.
Despite this progress, I still encounter moments where this fear resurfaces. For instance, I might hesitate to share my ideas in a group discussion or avoid trying new activities because I’m concerned about how I will be perceived. It’s in these instances that I realize I still have a long way to go.
However, I’m committed to facing these fears head-on. I remind myself that every experience, whether successful or not, contributes to my growth. I’m learning to celebrate my progress instead of dwelling on setbacks, which allows me to confront my fear of judgment more confidently. Each small step I take helps diminish that fear, making room for personal growth and the joy of trying new things without the burden of others’ opinions weighing me down.

Embracing Freedom in Love
In shadows cast by doubt and fear,
She searched for light, her vision clear.
With every tear, she longed to be,
Embraced for simply being free.
Through heartache’s trace, she found her grace,
Her worth not tied to any place.
In laughter shared and quiet ways,
She learned to cherish ordinary days.
When storm clouds fade and dawn breaks bright,
She’ll hold the lesson, let love ignite.
For in each heartbeat, she’ll always see,
That she is loved, and love runs free.

Here is my 2020 attempt at fear from Inside Out. I love how this one turned out, as it truly captures the character’s essence and role in the narrative.

Overcrowded places.
Bring out my anxiety.
Remember to breathe.
Don’t let it overwhelm you.
Just be brave and keep going…

Future worries
What are you most worried about for the future?
I am not going to lie and say that I don’t have any fears for the future because I have many. One of the main ones is that I will end up alone without someone by my side to encourage me and help me navigate through life.
The thought of being alone can be daunting, especially when considering the uncertainties and difficulties that life may present. Having a partner, friend, or family member to lean on during tough times can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance. Whether it’s for emotional support, practical advice, or simply having someone to share experiences with, the presence of a supportive companion can make a significant difference.
I am working on this and I will continue to work on this fear.
