❝ Shh… it’s okay to be afraid. ❞ from Martha
@wayneperished
This had to be a dream…He hadn't dreamt about his mother in a very long time, but it had to be a dream. Regardless of whether he was awake or not, though, he couldn't help feeling like a little boy again. Finding comfort in his mother's arms. The sweet smell of her perfume brought back few, but still happy, memories. Her warmth chased away the fear and sadness still rattling his body with hiccups and sobs. And her voice…Her voice. He had almost forgotten how it sounded.
He opened his mouth to speak, echoing what Martha had said in acceptance. “It's okay to be afraid…” Because everyone is afraid of something. Afraid of l i t t l e things. B I G things. Things beyond their control.
It was natural, and for a reason. He couldn't ignore it. All he could do was get better at coping with it.
Not letting it have P O W E R over him.
“It's okay to be afraid…”
