Fearless

I have always lived in fear.
I lived in fear to speak. I lived in fear to laugh.
I lived in fear to live.

I don’t know where or when this fear originated from but for as long as I remember it has been a constant feeling in my life. I was surrounded by it, trapped by it.

There was simply no end to it.

I could escape momentarily but it always found me, somehow. It would creep up on me unsuspectingly and forcefully embraced me as if not ever wanting to let go.

I have always lived in fear.

And then I met him, and now I am fearless.
