đ„ I will not lie to myself about fear
-
I am afraid sometimes â and still, I move.
-
Fear is not weakness. Fear means Iâm standing at the edge of a truth that matters.
-
I do not need to wait for fear to leave to walk forward.
-
Even with trembling hands, I build.
-
Even with a shaky voice, I speak.
-
Even with a frightened heart, I love.
-
I am allowed to be afraid and brave at the same time.
đż I remember what I come from
-
Fear told my ancestors they wouldnât survive. They did.
-
Fear said I should be silent. But my blood carries the songs of women who sang anyway.
-
I was not born in safety. I was born in sacred resistance.
-
My survival is not an accident. It is a birthright, a rebellion, and a blessing.
âđœ I do not worship fear
-
Fear is information â but it is not my leader.
-
I listen to fear, but I no longer let it drive my decisions.
-
Fear can ride in the car, but it no longer holds the map.
-
I will not build my life around what I’m afraid might happen.
-
I build my life around what must happen for me to be whole.
đ„ When fear rises, I rise too
-
I have outlived what I thought would destroy me.
-
I have survived moments where I thought the fear would swallow me whole â it didnât.
-
I do not owe fear my silence, my body, or my calling.
-
Every time I face fear, I gain back a piece of myself that was stolen.
đș Closing Reflection
Fear will come. Let it come.
But you do not have to bow.
You do not have to break.
You can speak with a shaky voice.
You can walk with unsteady feet.
But whatever you do â
keep going.
