The Many Facets of the Fear of the Unknown
Recently I have felt stuck like a stick in the mud. Usually I run from this feeling by either turning to self-pity, drugs, or any means of escapism. What I’ve learned is big for me because by now, in the past, I would have escaped somehow from that feeling. Instead, I realized that feeling of being stuck brings up many versions of the fear of the unknown, such as fear of lack of control, fear of what will be next to push me into motion again, fear of being rejected by the process of life, and fear of not being able to complete missions, goals, or chapters. On top of all of that, hope emerged and I became aware of the fact that facing any fear promotes the most growth possible. Dealing with the many parts of life such as time, fear, stunted movement, and chapters is healthy and beneficial. I am glad I am not running away into a corner or darkness. Some parts of life last longer than others. Some goals take longer to complete. Some missions are over in a short period of time. Even though change and movement are constant making stillness almost an illusion, there still seems to be this feeling of being stuck like a stormy cloud that ceases to pass quickly. Anyways, I hope y’all are blessed and healthy. Have a nice day now. Until next time. Bye 🫂❤️
@nickq1233 Fabulous input and perspective! I really appreciate your take on all of it. Indeed there are some cans of worms and rabbit holes that are extraordinary. We may find that dream within a dream or an onion within an onion from time to time. I am grateful for this awesome community.
@door036911 Absolutely. I hear you on that. I think we’re just pealing back one really big complex onion🧅. 🙂
Great analogy.
