Sometimes fear is the dominant emotion. Like now. It is caused from not knowing what to expect. I am unsure. I am worried I will be unworthy. Worried I will be unsatisfactory.

To be trusted so deeply and then scorned is a great unkindness, for it burns me. I am forever afraid now.

My mission is to conquer this fear of expectation and disappointment. I am not yours to judge, though you will judge me as you are wont to do. I will not let that destroy my self confidence, my self esteem.

I will overcome.

I head into the storm with as much courage as I can muster, and fear under my boot. It cannot destroy me as it has destroyed so many others.

I will overcome.

I will brave this storm with the knowledge that I am worthy. I am capable. I know that it is my own judgment that matters, and no one else’s.

I have overcome.
