It was strange and fitting at the same time. 

My whole being is like that of a gum. If I am inside a box then I can function as a whole. If the box is peeled of, can I function?

No one told me to do what I fear and the secret behind fearing. 

I fear taking a ride on a wagon alone.

I fear going to a new place on my own.

I fear trying out a new dish by myself. 

But I did it.

With a purpose in mind, of course. 

I rode the wagon with no attachment or any feeling. For once, there was nothing aside from the noise and lights that fills my head. For once, doing something on my own was fulfilling instead of fearing.

I can't forget that. 

I can't forget the tranquility that rivals a steady moving spring. I am the water. The earth is my path. The gravity that moves me is the force of the universe. For once, I accepted it as it was. 

What do you think is the secret behind fearing?
