A letter to my fear.

Here we are, ready to embark in a new discovery.

I know you don’t want to go because it would be unsafe, we will reach an unknown place and learning.
But it is something that we both need to do because I want to grow and learn about this new world.
And I want you with me, as a friend, a companion. You have always been there to help me and keep me safe, and I still want your help, I need it, you keep me grounded. As you see I’m not going to relegate you to a small room, on the contrary, I need you by my side, here close to me. I want to chat and discuss with you during this new adventure.
We are going to explore a brand new world, and I want you by my side.
I know it feels horrendous, and you feel sick, but that is ok, it is normal and natural. Because we both don’t know what we will find and be ready is essential.

I need you to balance myself.

I’m sorry that this is something that you don’t want to do. But I must do it. And as far as I know, we can’t exist without the others. It is difficult to accept, but as soon, as you realise that this is not a war, but a new way of living and accept my existence, as I accept, love and want yours, everything will be all right.

It’s time to go, useless to say do not be afraid, it would be silly, so just let it go and embark this discovery. We are like a detective discovering something new, and every Sherlock need its Watson!

So buckle up and let’s go.
