no fear.

[08 Mar 2006 | Wednesday]

i wonder why so many people go to such great lengths to save relationships with those who have hurt them immensely, or are completely detremental to their wellbeing, or are simply - wrong. they know that they are fighting to save something that will never bring happily ever after, yet they grasp and claw and cling to whatever shred of decency is left. they tell themselves that they can fix things. they convince themselves everything will get better as long as there is change. they swear this time will work. perhaps it is fear. fear of never finding a love that is better. a love that they deserve. fear of being alone. then i wonder why so many others push love away. that rare, beautiful, intense love that very few are fortunate enough to find. they find reasons why it cant be true. they find ways to sabotage any possibility of maintaining the pure, real love they have found. perhaps it is fear. fear of getting hurt. fear that someone knows you, understands you and sees you, completely for who you really are. fear of the future. fear of emotion. fear of the unknown. fear. we are always told, "don't be afraid". i say fear. yes...fear! for without fear, there is no courage. be brave. be courageous. dont stay for comfort. there is a whole world waiting for you. and within that world, you have a place. and i guarantee your place is not meant to be unhappy. be brave. be courageous. accept that love as pure. accept that it is yours to have and to hold and to feel. wrap yourself in it and stay there. that is where you'll find no fear.
