ghoster's blog: "Words by me"

I feared being alone... until I learned to like myself. I feared failure... until I realized that I only fail when I don't try. I feared success... until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself. I feared peoples opinions... until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway. I feared rejection... until I learned to have faith in myself. I feared pain... until I learned that it's necessary for growth. I feared the truth... until I saw the ugliness in lies. I feared life... until I experienced its beauty. I feared death... until I realized that it's not an end but a beginning. I feared my destiny... until I realized that I had the power to change my life. I feared hate... until I realized it was nothing more than ignorance. I feared love... until it touched my heart making the darkness fade into endless sunny days. I feared ridicule... until I learned to laugh at myself. I feared growing old... until I realized that I gained Wisdom everyday. I feared the future... until I realized that life just kept getting better everyday. I feared the past... until I realized that it could no longer hurt me. I feared the darkness... until I saw the beauty of the starlight. I feared the light... until I learned that the truth would give me strength. I feared change... until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly.
