The fear we hold on to...

By Vichara

We have created a world where indifference is a comfort for the ever-present fear we hold on to. We have created worlds within world with sound and glass. The glass to hide behind and yet still see the world like some goldfish peering out into the world that we barely exist in. We create a musical world where the rhythm and words are plugged into our ears and gives us a crutch to walk out on the street and interact with the world at a minimum. Perhaps it may be a good time to have a little chat with this fear that we have as a companion and reason with it or at least let it go on a vacation…a long one. Yes there beneficial factors in having a sense of fear in that it provides that tingly sense when something is a bit off and you need to readjust your course. But then there is the obsessive fear that many of us seem to walk around with that hinders our natural gait. This fear comes in many colors, shapes and sizes but at its core it is the same effect, preventing you from being fully engaged and connected with the world around you. What to do with this fear? There are many avenues to explore from many forms of therapy but it would best to engage in one that makes you comfortable and will not judge. I am not licensed nor do I have expertise in therapeutic methodologies but the one thing I am sure of unless you have this “chat” with those fears that hold you back you will always have this companion that will not let go. Once fear is being confronted it can only be dealt with and sent packing on that long vacation.
