Fear Feels Very Real
Fear feels very real. Regardless of how irrational that fear might be, there’s no denying the chemical reaction that exists in your brain when you’re experiencing fear. Your entire body is likely also experiencing this fear to a certain degree.
When I was a kid, I would stay at my grandma’s house while my older siblings were at school. My grandma had a pool and there were moments during the day when I could go swimming. I loved it, except I never wanted to go into deep end…not without my siblings. I was afraid. It was dark, and for some reason, I thought there were sharks there. And even though and even at that age I knew there were no sharks and I had been in the deep end before, I didn’t want to go there. I felt alone. It looked dark and I was scared.
This just reminded me that even as adults we have this type of irrational fear sometimes. So whatever it is you’re going through today, I hope that you find comfort and peace.
