Theme 37 - Fear

Boy: Don't you trust my love for you?
Girl: I am scared. Being betrayed in love, I have lost the strength to trust anyone.
Boy: Not every guy is same. Hold my hand, step ahead. I will never let you fall.
And, girl hugged him tightly. Love conquered her fear and a new journey began.

News on increasing rapes and eve-teasing which he always ignored were now catching his eyes every morning. The daily one-hour conversation, which Komal found romantic was actually a result of Lakshit's fear for residing in another city and for making sure that she reaches her hostel safely every night.

“Friendships are forever.”
“A boy and a girl can never be just friends!”
“Love comes without a notice.”
She didn't know which was greater: Fear of everything turning out to be true or
fear of everything turning into nothingness!

Woken up by the sound, the room was entirely untouched; windows shut, curtain slightly open and his daughter sound asleep.
Stooped low beside the bed, he kissed his angel. That’s when the sound returned; a low rumbling like a dog’s growl, his daughter’s hands attacking him violently, clawing at his throat. He cried, “Somebody Help”…

She wanted to travel the world and paint the journey; the experience… She feared the beauty of the world.
"What if it isn't as beautiful as I have imagined? Oh wait! I have colors…"

She feared stepping out of house, playing out in lawn, going to schools and colleges, travelling in buses, working in offices and now living even inside her own home. There are cannibals all around with a zeal to feast on her soul.

Flummoxed, she asked her mom "why am I scared to take chances, ma?"
Mom: "Freed your thoughts, get yourself out of your comfort zone, let your mind be free from the anxieties of what-will-happen-if, let it venture into new arenas. Very soon you will realize that it was your reluctance thwarting you, and not fear."
- Pragya Dubey


She woke up in the morning with wet eyes. People say if you see a nightmare of your dad’s death, he is going to live more. She believed that too. But lost him the next day.
Yesterday night, she saw her mom dying….

Fear of darkness, fear of dad, fear of teacher, fear to fail, and now I fear, as I have no fear.
Who said it's always good to grow-up. . .

Second entries: 

She was bold, daring and independent. She traveled distances alone. And day and night, worked hard for her dream. Her dream of wearing that olive green uniform, of being a part of the army. She was set to fight the enemies with guns. Nothing moved her.. Well, except for lizards. She was scoliodentosaurophobic. - Priyanka Dharamsi

Relationships broke. Things crashed. Grades degraded. Health deteriorated. Friends complained. Parents were worried. Every possible thing was going wrong in his life.
But he wasn't afraid. One thing helped him survive. His belief in “Everything’s gonna be fine soon”. Ironically, this li’l phrase turning out to be untrue was the only fear he lived with.
