Sometimes the thing we're scared of the most can set us free.

I recently had a fear that I thought I had under control.
I'd breathe.
I'd tell myself "That won't happen. Everything will be okay."
And soon, the fear would soothe.
Grade A work, Lilly.
Wrong.
The fear didn't go away.
It came back time and again getting stronger.
Resentment seeped out. (Even with my best bottling.)
"It will be okay. It will be okay."
But that wasn't the truth.
I was scared of a potential future that could happen, and I didn't want to accept it.
In the same moment my fear was fulfilled
"Maybe it will happen."
it was released.
I cried.
My fear finally free.
