All of us have our own ghosts. The ghost of doing something that you are really afraid of since then. The ghost of losing someone that you love and is very important to your heart. The ghost of trusting people because of a not-so-good thing that you had experienced in the past. The ghost of falling in love because you are afraid to fall apart.
Your ghosts. Your fears. The things that you are being terrified of. The things that you are supposedly doing but because of some not-so-important matters, you are being hindered to do so.
Your fear of doing something that you are really afraid of since then. Your fear of losing someone that you love and is very important to your heart. Your fear of trusting people again because of a not-so-good thing that you had experienced in the past. Your fear of falling in love because you are afraid to fall apart.
People will usually tell you to "Face your fears". But they don't even have any idea on how hard it is for you. I mean, it is easy to tell a person to be okay even tho you, yourself know how hard it is. It is not easy to give an advice to a person which you knew you can't actually done by yourself.
They always say that before you tell something to others, be sure that either you are applying it to yourself or had already experienced it. You need to be mindful on every words that will come out from your mouth. It is because your advice might be useless. It might be worthless. Powerless. And most especially, it might not be considered as legitimate.
That's why you, yourself need to grow. You need to face your own fears first before telling anyone that they can too. Always start everything with yourself.
With yourself first.
