GONE

I used to be afraid of...

...water
...dirt
...what people might say
...being black, arabic, russian, white; a mixed child
...being unique / myself
...going bald
...law enforcement
...turning the volume up when I listen to music
...being poor
...growing up and becoming my father
...getting jacked or shot
...school
...not being muslim, not being like my family
...being christian
...changing and growth
...moving out of the projects (yeah, i know...)
...losing more childhood friends
...confronting my deepest thoughts and feelings
...myself

One day I realized I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. On that day I realized I could do anything I truely wanted. Being fearful and scared of what I wanted to explore, create or think would not help me attain the state of mental clarity I constantly seek.

I'm no longer afraid of my past....

I know fear will always be in my thoughts, balance style. I know for each moment of fear there will be another moment of bravey, balance style.

How are you today, brave or fearful?
