I feared being alone until,
I learned to like myself.

I feared failure until I realized,
that I only fail when I don't try.

I feared success until I realized,
that I had to be content.

I feared people's opinions until I learned,
that people would have opinions anyway.

I feared rejection until I learned,
to have faith in myself.

I feared pain until I learned,
that it's necessary for growth.

I feared the truth until;
I saw the ugliness in lies.

I feared life until,
I experienced its beauty.

I feared death until I realized,
that it's not an end but a beginning.

I feared my destiny until I realized,
that I had the power to change my life.

I feared being myself until,
I started to hope… to love… to live…
