With Every End…Comes A Beginning

My name is David.  I am 28 years old, gainfully employed, and I have a lovely, beautiful, talented woman who is very supportive.  Everything I could ever ask for.  Living the dream, right?

All of these things didn’t come easily for me.  Looking back through my life -up until recently- I had a fear.  Well, several fears.  On the outside, I could laugh and enjoy parts of life.  But that nagging fear – the annoying gnat that keeps trying to fly into my eyelash as I fend him off desperately – kept coming back.  In fact, it never went away.

I am not writing this to bring anyone down.  In truth, my intentions are the exact opposite.  I am hoping that my experience is relative to you, the reader, or someone you know who has developed and is enveloped by what frightens them the most.

My revelation is this: When you voice your concerns, your fears, your vulnerabilities – you deplete the force behind what scares you and you can breathe a little easier.  The power is taken from them because you find that you do have a voice and those fears are smaller than you are.  Write your fears down, share them with a trusted person.  Or if it’s people you’re afraid of and you aren’t ready for that road – confide in your pet turtle, dog, cat, iguana, or ferret.  They listen and they don’t judge!

So RELAX!

These forthcoming passages are chapters in my life.  Experiences from which I’ve learned important lessons – both through tragedy and triumph.  May they offer serenity, hope, and positivity.

Enjoy…
