Fear

It seems like this concept is very popular these days. You can see it everywhere you go. If someone around you is acting differently, not "normal" to what you are use to, we tend to think that there is something wrong, therefore we are afraid of it.



But when it comes down to relationships, when at the end we all are looking for being accepted and loved, why are we so afraid. If we all grew up differently, if each of us were taught to love in a different way, why don't we understand that because someone doesn't love us the way we know to love, that means that person just doesn't love us? We are afraid to be the first one who starts to be interested, to be the first one who is start to have feelings for the other person, to be vulnerable when at the end of the day I have always believed that loving the people around us just make us a better person.



Is it that we are afraid because we think that if we were hurt once, it will only keep on happening. When something happen that reminds us another episode in our lives in which we were hurt, something turns on within us and make us feel hurt again, even if the circumstances as well as the people involved are different.



I have heard that we are not suppose to remember pain, just like moms after painfully delivering their babies, they forget and do it once again. I wish I could forget pain, start clean fresh, trust everyone and don't be afraid of "getting pregnant and delivering" a new possibility for myself.
