It’s fear that holds me back
But fear of what?
Fear of the unknown
Everyone has this fear of the mysterious idea of the unfamiliar
Of things different,
of things new
It holds me back from experiencing new things  
It holds you back,
it holds her back,
it holds him back
This fear of something that no one can describe through words or paintings or drawings stops all of us
We’re scared of what’s going to happen if we do this,
we’re scared of what people will say,
what people will think, what they will do
I want to stop thinking of all of the options,
and see what will actually happen
It’s time to experience the things that fear has stopped me from doing.
No, I’m not ready.
Yes, I am still scared.
I’m nervous and I just keep thinking but it’s okay, everyone gets scared, right?
