Fear.

Mihika Anjoo

Fear. It’s captivating. Everyone lives with it. But somewhere, I envision a world without fear. A world with nobody to judge me. A world where I can be free and be myself. A world with everybody being loved for who they are, not what they pretend to be. If I weren’t afraid, those whispers lurking in the dark wouldn’t bother me. If I weren’t afraid, I wouldn’t have to think 100 times about whatever it is I’m going to do next. If I weren’t afraid, I would swim in the ocean of opportunities and possibilities, yet fear is like stones tied to my feet, drowning me each time I try to come above the water. Fear is like a gun, shooting me down each time I try to soar. Fear turns my colorful life into a black and white movie, nobody wants to know about. Yet somehow, fear is the only thing that keeps me going, making me fight those stones tied to my feet. Helping me soar, no matter how many times I get shot. Guiding me to show others that my black and white movie can be fun. There is only so much you can be afraid of; but I know I’m in the middle of an ocean of possibilities, and no matter how heavy those stones on my feet become, fear is never going to drown me.
