Fear of fear It is normal to be afraid: it is human. It is a valid emotion just like joy or anger.

What cannot be is that fear prevents us from living.
That paralyzes us.
Make our existence worse.
What cannot be is that fear is superior to love.

Because love, always, must be above fear.
Because when we decide to love life for what it is.
With its wounds, scars, skies and peaks.
When we understand that, whether we are afraid or not, this will happen.

This is just this once.
That there is no more.
That everything you have not done we can never do.
That we do not return.

Until we live with the awareness that existence is a privilege.
Until we remember what matters.
That tomorrow may be too late.

Until we understand it.
We will be stopping giving all those kisses.
Putting off all those calls, trips, pardons, or skips.
To an after.
That may never come.
