Fears In Forests

Dark forests engulfed by the daze of fear.

Where hopes and wishes go to bleed.

Where dreams turn into nightmares.

Where darkness holds on as a forever shadow.

This is where my travels adrift have taken me. And I had two options; To trudge through this dreadful forest and just maybe get closer to my dreams, or completely elude the forest altogether, fearing to fail and not overcoming the things that scared me.

A path of safety surrounded this forest. But opportunities and possibilities were so little on that smooth road. So, with a bit of curiosity, a whole lot of faith, and a nothing-to-lose mindset, I turned inward. Inside this forest of darkness is where I walk. Stumbling and grumbling as I go.

I admit, fear has moved my trembling feet more than I can count. And finding my reason to try again is hard. But it's not in fear as to why I persist with this journey. It's something much deeper and much more powerful. There's growth. There's possibility. There's freedom. And there's overcoming. The fact that fear itself is stifling my progress is reason enough to continue.

But there is the reason why I started in the first place. And that reason is worth the continuing. Finding that can mean starting over, refocusing, regrouping, and resetting.

Once you've found it, even the darkest of forests will erupt with light as you walk on.
