ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.
on a personal note, this was about how ten years ago i was scared of weekly gym classes and my upcoming exams, and at the time i wrote this post i was scared of the interviews for my graduation internship, and now i am scared of things like product presentations for the clients at said internship - and while it might sound hopeless to think that those situational fears are going to be replaced by other situational fears, it's all proof that we're moving forward and growing. just like i survived those gym classes, exams and interviews, life is a series of victories that you have to look back on to stay aware of.
you're a victor for being here despite the fears you had back then, just like you're still going to be here tomorrow despite the fears you have today.
your fear of spiders and rollercoasters are valid, but i hope you get the gist of where i was getting at! you've got this! life goes on and it will take you with it!
