Soooo here's the chapter on fears.

Now this chapter may be a little short so I'll apologize beforehand.

Fear: Fear is a natural, powerful, and primitive human emotion. It involves a universal biochemical response as well as a high individual emotional response. Fear alerts us to the presence of danger or the threat of harm, whether that danger is physical or psychological

Now this emotion is strange isn't it? It makes you shake, hate yourself makes you feel weak dosen't it?

The topic on fears is a really sensitive discussion to have. Being honest to myself I hate hate and hate confessing to myself that I have fears. But truth being told its a part of you like every other emotion that you feel. Its not bad to have fears but its bad to let them hold you back from conquering your dreams or reaching your goals.

Life is short and letting your fears hold you back from living through that short time isn't really worth it. But again its way, way hard to overcome your fear then it looks or sounds like.

"Fear is all about conquering them" this one quote sounds crap to me being honest cause its easier said then done. Some fears are just mild l, they don't effect you much on the other hand some of them are overwhelming.

I was and am afraid of a number of things, some of them are mild while the others are bad enough to give me panic attacks.

Now I'll talk about some of my own experience being afraid

When I was nine I had chikunguniya fever and for a week straight I couldn't eat anything except for drinking coconut water. Looking back I really thought I was gonna die like the other young and old victims of this virus. I was scared but my mum she was terrified. Fortunately I was blessed by god and life gave me another chance making me realize how very precious it is cause one day for everyone it ends.

Then this year on January I had a horrible fever from lung infection 🤧 lol. Yea its temporary so am alright but I do have to be careful and wear a mask on regular days as well. All rambling aside.

Another big fear is failing maths exam. Go ahead laugh all you want. I suck at that subject. So I practice that one subject a lot and still stay average but who cares as long as I don't fail

Now among phobias, am scared of cockroaches, darkness, sudden movements or noises, fire, dying yea what else is there to add? Idk

Am still D-I-S-G-U-S-T-E-D by roaches and still run at times but my fear isn't as serious anymore. Now you see in 3rd grade we had a really scary science teacher who MADE ME TOUCH A ROACH IN CLASS. YES thats what she did
poor me *sob* *sob*. Poor me......... And yes that lessened my fear. But that lady, I still find her evil.

Anyways there are certain situations where I feel like I'll have a panic attack cause I wasn't done studying before exams am even kidding it happens. It gets worse though when the result is out.

I once heard the motivational speaker Muniba Mazari's lectures where she wrote down her fears and tried her best to conquer them all. That helps too in my opinion I've tried it, and it dose help writing you thoughts down when you cant talk.

So does that mean its bad to have fears? No. Is it weak to have insecurities? No. There a part of you, its wrong to let them tie you down, for them to stop you from realising how precious you are and your life is. Tell your fears that you wanna fly and for them to fly with you, being scared, crying, breaking is nothing to be ashamed of. So don't hate yourself for it, Love yourself instead.
