dear bear,

fear is something that lurks in the small depths of our houses and in the very nook and cranny of your soul. it's like a heavy backpack that you have to carry throughout your life. others find a way to ignore the weight, only noticing when it starts to get difficult to pretend everything is dandy and fine.

i fear a lot of things and you do as well.

for starters, you cry from fear when i'm not near you.

you scream in fear and anger when people get too close to you.

you fear little green vegetables on your plate.

you fear potty training because you think the toilet is going to swallow you up. a plausible fear.

what do i fear you ask?

i fear not being able to be with you for every step of your life.

i fear for your safety.

i fear an eventual end.

but though we fear many things. it is never alright to let fear control your life. you can never get anywhere in life with fear constantly pulling you down.

how can someone step out of the box and think creatively without getting over their fear of the space outside the box limits? you simply cannot.

so don't worry and live the way you want and live happily. i will block the fear that lurks in every nook and cranny. no longer fear, bear.

love,
kim taehyung
