Fear

Fear’s dark acronym, but what if for a minute you didn’t run. What if you reached down and grabbed fear by the balls 🎾 🎾?

I’ve been scared of literally EVERYTHING, and maybe it’s my own personal brush with death that I no longer fear … FEAR. That said, facing myself was just as scary as that F**** Cancer diagnosis. Acknowledging the toxic parts of myself meant becoming vulnerable, unguarded, exposed, accountable and healing my trauma response.

Truth, the only choice I had was to grab, twist, and knee the sh** outta FEARS nuts 🥜. I had to break open my shell. It wasn’t easy, and it’s been a painful experience. FEAR didn’t like me fighting back. FEAR even tried to choke me out, and then laughed at me while I was flailing around on the ground and gasping for air. It was the realization of LIFE amidst my fear of death that I was able to release myself from its grip. Which leads me to ask this … What’s the thing you’re most scared of? What would it take to get you to face FEAR?
