Worry and Fear Steal our Freedom
Worry and Fear Steal our Freedom
When the pandemic hit, I was like ’ok I got this!’, and I’ve pretty much maintained that mindset since day one. I stubbornly refuse to let worry or fear enslave me.
You see, my previous life was one of fear. An enslavement of sorts, always wondering how I am being perceived, not believing anyone will come to my rescue if I need it. One day on the city bus in my early 20’s, I was having a massive panic attack and swore to never ride a bus again, in desperation I turned to the woman behind me and said ‘I’m having a panic attack’. Whoosh, just like that, I took back my freedom.
