Fear: Rejection

Dream: Acceptance and Love

To Write Love on Her Arms has an ongoing campain called the Fear vs Dreams campaign so I decided to share my fear and dreams......

Rejection: This is something that I am TERRIFIED of..I think I fear this more than death itself as wierd as it may seem. It has held me back in so many ways, you have no idea...I didnt apply to my favorite colleges beacuse i was AFRAID of getting that letter that reads " we regret to inform you, that you were not accepted..."...It also held me back in my personal and social life becuase up to this day, i have never ever ever been able to talk to the one guy that I like...ever... becuase I'm scared that he will just be utterly grossed out or ashamed of the fact that I like him...and I kind of put up a front with new people that come into my life out of a fear that they won't accept me as I am...it's a paralyzing fear and it does keep me from living my life

                                                          VS.

Acceptance: I hope to always be accepted if not by everyone, then at least by my family and friends who I am close to becuase at the end of the day they are the ones who matter. On Sunday I am making a major decision of whether or not I'll be going to a Digital media college or not and while my parents are not thrilled about the decision, to say the least, I hope that they do recognize that this is what will make me happy and that they dont have to worry about my life becuase they raised me to be strong and I know what I am getting myself into. I also hope to have the courage to tell that one guy "hello" at least...

Love: I hope to overcome my fear so that I can finally be able to be more open and accept more people in my life that I purposedly shut out and hopefully, I will find someone who I can love. I'm being realistic here  and the first person I love might not be "Forever" and he might even break my heart, but the fact is that LOVE is one of the strongest emotions and its true what they say, It's better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all

Fear: Rejection   Dream: Acceptance, Love

So, as I shared this little tidbit of my life to my.....8 tumblr followers (WOW, Im soooo far from being tumblr famous, c'est la vie) I can only hope to inspire at least one of you guys  to look at your lives and make a "Fear vs. Dreams" list. It doesn't matter how many problems you have, you'll see that once you put them into perspective, your dreams will always outweigh the Fears. Fears are to be overcome, and Dreams are to come true
