FEAR

I want to talk about something that most people experience at some point in their lives myself included. Two weeks ago i had a conversation with a friend of mine and he was telling me that he has never been in a long term/ serious relationship with a girl because he is afraid that he will get heart broken because everybody cheats and that sort of stuff.
This really bothered me because we live in a world where we paint people with the same brush, the reality is people are not the same as much as there are people who do not value monogamy there are still some who do and you cannot deny yourself a chance at sharing your life and your love with someone because of fear. It reminded me of when i was younger i was afraid of rejection because my father had left me and the thought of having a boyfriend leave me gave me major anxiety until one day a boy actually left me. I was devastated it took me exactly 2 years to get over a relationship that lasted only 2months (ridiculous i know) because i became a slave to my fear which made me a very vulnerable and naive person. It took time and maturity to realize that it doesn't matter who leaves my life, what matters is that i gave it my all and that what is meant for me will be for me and what is not will not be and that whatever happens is not always a reflection of what you did but who the other person is and as weird as this may sound i was happy that i went through it because when you are young sometimes you think that bad things only happen to other people and not you, so a slap of reality taught me that bad experiences happen so that we can appreciate the good and help us become better versions of ourselves. 
So i say this to say that don't let the greatest moments of your life pass you by because you are afraid, its like being afraid to get up, go out and live because you are afraid something bad will happen to you, who wants to live like that so go on and get your life, fall in love, go crazy or do what feels right for you, we have only this one life so don't waste it on fear...XO
