Fear

I am scared that no one likes me; that people will laugh at me.

I am afraid that I don’t know what I’m doing; that I’m doing it all wrong.

I’m afraid that I’m a horrible parent and that my children will hate me or turn out horribly.

I’m afraid that I’ll fail.

I’m scared that no matter how hard I work, it will all fall apart.

And yet, every day, I get up and try it all over again.
