Post subject:  Avoidance

Your paper lies in front of you. Time keeps ticking and ticking and the paper stays still. You ponder on and on, yet your hands do not move. Nothing is being written. It won't do itself. The papers lies still.

The paper is a metaphor for things I avoid and push away. Be it a video speech of mine I have to critique, an introspective sit down, the list goes on. It's a list of things I am scared to do. It is a list of things my ego is scared to do.

"What if you fail!"
"What if you fall short?"
"What if..."

Fears. Anxieties. Stress. All come up. Yet the more I wait the more these feelings intensify.
I wait and try to think myself to comfort, but I do not move forward!
I disregard the noise and move forward. The feelings may subside or intensify, but I am moving forward.
Once across I look back and see the thing I feared was an illusion. Nothing more than a mirage.
My life is better now.
