Does our fear really belong to us?

Ok, so yesterday the way I was feeling I didn’t want to write anything here because I didn’t think it was relevant or more to the point anything that anyone would want to read... It begs the question “why did I think that?”

I was afraid of showing that I could be vulnerable. But where did that fear come from? And actually, is that fear mine? The answer... I don’t know where it came from, I don’t need to know and no, it is not mine!! Fear is a perception that is put upon us by other people’s opinions, words and judgement and it doesn’t actually belong to us. Why should I be afraid to let people know that I can be vulnerable? Because it makes me look weak? Not at all, in fact quite the opposite. It is however, because I have to lower my barriers and dismantle those walls brick by brick in order to let those feelings and fears and judgements flow through me so that I can release them in order to move forward. The emotions have been extreme and the tears have flowed...

The longer you spend resisting the flow the more time it takes to unblock the dam but my goodness is it worth it when you do!
