It's not the masks, not the dark shadows lurking at nightโitโs waking up in a place you donโt recognize, surrounded by pieces of the life you used to know. Itโs the fear that settles in, like a thick fog, when you realize youโve been hiding from yourself. Itโs looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger staring back, wondering where that person went, and if theyโll ever come back.
Whatโs really scary is watching everything you worked so hard for slip through your fingers, powerless to stop it. Relationships fade, dreams dissolve, hope feels like itโs trapped on the other side of a door you just canโt open. And sometimes, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐; ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒโ๐ซ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ, ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ.
But the scariest thing of all? Itโs believing that no one understands, that youโre in this alone. Let me tell you thisโyouโre not. Youโre not the only one haunted by the past, or terrified of the future. Thereโs strength in that vulnerability, in the willingness to reach out and say, โI need help.โ Remember, the only thing more powerful than fearโฆ is hope.
