Shadows of Fear

Fear is a master illusionist. It takes something small, something almost insignificant, and casts it as a giant shadow across our minds. In the dark corners of our thoughts, it grows, swells, until it feels all-encompassing. But here’s the truth: fear is only as big as we allow it to be.

When we finally gather the courage to look closer, to truly see, we find that the monster we imagined was nothing more than a fleeting shadow. The spider was never the size of the room—it was the size of a coin. The darkness in our hearts was never infinite—it was just a flicker.

Fear only thrives when we let it. But when we face it, with eyes wide open and hearts steady, we take away its power. We see it for what it truly is: small, fragile, and entirely within our grasp.
