Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 115: The things I feared most!

In life we all have some fears inside us. Small or big, they still shake our heart. This contest made me think about my own fears and how they changed me. I am not a perfect person but these feelings are real. Fears taught me many things about life.

◉Can you list 5 things you feared most to ever happen to you and why you are afraid of it?

There are few things in my life that I fear a lot. Sometimes they stay in my mind for long time.

• The first thing I fear is losing my love. Because I know my heart is not strong to face that kind of pain.

• The second fear is failure, because I try hard in my life. I still I feel one day everything will fall and my all efforts will in vain.
• My third fear is sickness, either mine or my family’s. Because hospitals and pain always make me weak from inside.
• The fourth fear is being alone like everyone moves on and I am left behind in some corner.
• My last fear is disappointing to family. I always want them to feel proud on me.

These fears look very common but these hit deeply. Sometimes I carry them silently in my heart.

◉Did any of these things you feared ever happened to you? Tell us.

Yes, some of my fears actually happened in my life. These change me more than my expectations. I lose someone whose I really love once. And that moment felt like the whole world stopped for me. I lost my senses, I forget how to stand strong. My fear of failure also came true many times. I worked hard, I tried my best but the result still came opposite.

This hurt me a lot. It made me doubt myself. There were days when I feel totally alone even in a crowd. Like no one really understood me. These moments were heavy and painful. These taught me something about life. They showed me that pain comes and it goes too. Every fear that becomes real leaves behind a small lesson that stays forever in the heart.

◉What's your stand on the saying that the things you fear most will eventually happen?

I truly believe this saying is true. Many times in life, the things I fear the most really do happen in some way. I feel like fear is not just a thought, it is something that already lives inside the future. And when we keep thinking about it. It somehow comes closer to me. In my life, I have seen this happening. The moments I was scared to lose someone, I actually lost them. The days I was scared of failure, failure came to me. So I feel like fear has a strange power.

It makes our heart weak and it brings the same thing in front of us one day. But I don’t think it happens to destroy us. It happens to teach us something, to make us stronger, to show us that we can stand even after pain. So yes, I truly believe this saying.
