What is there not to be scared about?
This thing called life is scary.
We have all at one time or the other lost good friends, being seriously heartbroken, been broke, lost opportunities, been jobless and floated through life.
Some years back, I was so heartbroken that I thought my heart would break literally. I was so pained that I became numb. Numb to myself, numb to pain, numb to life. I honestly thought I would die but I didn’t. I don’t know how but I didn’t. Whilst I did move on, my self-esteem was badly damaged. Damn! I would walk the streets and think everyone was pointing to the girl that “got dumped”. I would walk into a place and thought wow, they are staring at me with pity in their eyes.
So I ran into myself. I became antisocial and stuck with just work, church and work. On my free days, my grandma became my best friend, I would go out and buy the things I didn’t really need. I just wanted to get my mind off the worries. I felt as though there was something looming over me that wanted to cave in. Being restless gave me the opportunity to run away as fast as I could from it.
That was how I lived.
But that is not how to live.
Living begins when we make a decision to.
There is no amount of pep talk, motivational books or sessions that can make us truly live. It’s up to us.
I know sometimes you are not sure but always remember that who you choose to be, what you choose to become, how you choose to live is up to you.
It is called life and we are better off living it scared or not.
Dear Woman, Live.
