When I was little, my fears only consisted of the monsters that came out after dark, falling off of my bike and not having anyone there to help me up, or the harmful creatures that appeared in my so called dreams that turned into nightmares. As the years went on, the less afraid I was. I could actually walk home from my friends house, after dark. When I would fall off my bike, I would hop back up and keep riding. & When my dreams turned into nightmares, I would realize that my dreams weren’t reality. After you conqure your fears, you feel pretty accomplished.. Well, at least I do. But after the overcoming of your past fears, only leaves space for you to fill with your new ones. As I got older my new fears turned into not fitting in, standing up for my self, and talking to new people. After many trials and errors with different friends, I ended up with the people that accepted me for who I am, and the ones that I could rely on. Those people not only turned into my bestfriends, but theyre practically my family.<3 Now the last two are kinda similar. I am a shy person, with people knowing that, they would know I wouldn’t fight back, so picking on my was very entertaining. I would cry, and not say a single word. But as time went on, I became stronger. Some would say I’ve turned into a “bitch.” But do they honestly know how far I’ve came? In my own personal offence, if it takes me to be a bitch for people not to mess with me, then I would be more than likely to be one.  Now most of my friends are outgoing. Anytime we would meet new people, I would never be the one to talk to them first. Usually I’d be the girl standing in the back, just listening. Now, I can actually make a conversation with a complete stranger. I give my self two thumbs up for that:)   My point is fears are never ending. Once you’ve overcame a fear, a new one is just replaced. Everyone has fears. But the way you handle that fear, and how you overcome it, it was really matters.  “Fearless is having fears.” -T.S.
