I have been paralyzed by fear lately, the fear of moving forward, and the fear of going ahead with what I plan to do… Sometimes I couldn't start something, and other times I didn't finish what I started…
My drafts folder is full of unfinished posts, and uncompleted sentences…
My mind felt like strangled strings, from every direction, and I was stuck in between… It felt as if that tunnel had no end, and I couldn't seem to see a light, the tunnel of my deepest thoughts, was blocking me in….
I knew... I had to fight my way out of there, for I no longer can take the darkness, and the heaviness I felt inside….
I was wondering where fear came from; I have always been brave and strong…
Until I realized that fear is only something I created, to hide behind, when I felt too tired to keep fighting, and too tired to move on, fear was the cave I ran into, but instead of sheltering me, it took over me…
And isn't that what we all do, when things don't seem to be going as we wish, we get used to giving up, and blaming it on others, blaming it on things, and circumstances. Only if we look clearly and see that we can do anything, at anytime, if we really want to…
So I pick up myself, and I break my way out of the tunnel and I see the light, I start again, knowing that time wont wait for me, and that I must get things done now…
I must write my mind, for once the thought is gone its never back….

Hey Hayat,
This is truely a superbly written post. I simply love the way it was written.
Glad you overcame your fears & stepped out of your tunnel. All Fears are made to conquer. The best way to do so is to let your light shine through the darkness. You are blessed with so much of light to illuminate to the world. Keep it glowing..all the time its more than you know for so many.
And remember..never to give up & you are never alone.
Keep them rolling :)

I think you are right, those who are good friends like you, keep trying to help us overcome our fears, but others might take advantage of it, and see it as a door and a chance to see us weaker..
Thanks for being there Ali..

7ayateee :) I am happy I made you smile,sometimes life makes us forget what we are, and what good things are as well..

Miss you sister!
It's fear of the unknown that keeps us paralyzed. One foot forward helps dispel a little of the unknown, and a little of the fear. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and you will walk out of the darkness and into the light.
You can do it! Thank you for writing!
:)
Never give in... just take a deep breath and zone out for a bit. All you need is a change of perspective and some support :D
Don't you worry about anything - fear is simply the state of going out from a comfort zone, even if the other side is greener
Hayaaaaaaaaat, break your glass and fly!
How come you have this name and still keep struggling with fear?
You are life, always remember that. There is no room for fear :) xxx
