Fear(less)

I feel so powerless.

I see people who need a person. Just one person to be there for them. That one person to let them know "Don't worry... everythin' is gonna be all right..." and give them a pat on the back. That person you can talk to.

I want to help. I want to be that person, but how do I do it? Am I even in a position to help them?
Can I even help them? It feels like there is just a mountain of questions that are separating me from them, and I only have my bare hands to scale this mountain.

Truth is, I'm scared. Scared of their reaction, scared that I'll making this incredibly awkward and scared that I'll give the wrong intentions. But... I'm mostly scared that I'll tell them I can be that person and I'll miserably fail. Then what happens?

This is the type of thing that separates us from each other. This fear that we all have inside of us; this fear is anything really. This fear holds us back, tells us "don't do this because this might happen, and you don't want that do you?"

Well its time to fight that fear. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but damnit I'm gonna do it.
