Dear my fear,
We need to talk.
I know that you are part of my life and always will be.
Just like happiness,
Sadness,
Anger or confidence.
And I am grateful for the important things you do for me.
You save me from danger and harm.
You make me think twice and prepare instead of acting and being surprised or even overwhelmed.
Thank you that you care for me and make me be careful.
But lately our relationship has become far too intense as you showed up daily at my headspace place.
You don't care for me anymore,
You start to control me.
And that's where you don't save me from harm but harm me yourself.
You make me eat unhealthy stuff in servings way too large until I really feel uncomfortable.
You don't let me rest anymore as you even expect my attention through the night.
And the worst,
You stop me from doing the things I really want to do just because you can.
Sorry to say my dear fear but I can see you being on an ego trip here that goes much too far.
And I decide to stop you.
You need to accept that every emotion needs time with me and I need time with them.
Life simply has too many colorful varieties to only approach it through the eyes of a single feeling.
If I would give in to you it would only be you that keeps growing and growing.
And I would start shrinking and shrinking until there would be nothing left of me but only you instead.
I know your deepest intention is to keep me safe from harm.
And that's why you surely understand my dilemma if you think about it.
But your ego has become pretty big.
And I don't know if you alone are able to step back to the place within me that indeed belongs to you and always will.
Therefore I will support you and I do know how.
Because I found out your secret my dear fear.
Do you know it too?
I am not the only one facing the super size ego of a fear sometimes.
You guys seem to try this again and again with many of us people.
And so I understand that.
Dear my fear,
You are not different just one of them.
I decide to not take your ways personally.
It is not about my true self just part of your nature.
See you start shrinking.
Dear my fear,
You are not special just one of them.
I decide there is no shame to share you.
Now you are not the big picture in my head anymore.
Just a piece in my life puzzle.
See how small you get.
Dear my fear,
You are not unique just one of them.
I decide to talk about you.
So you don't stop me anymore but inspire me to do what I love.
See how much you do for me when I size you down.
