Romanticizing the fear

Seems tough I know... but we all fear something, that "thing" inspires us but it's quite controversial when we talk about it. We romanticize it idea, it's frightening but hard to let go in thoughts. I can relate mostly with some sentiments and states of mind. What about you?

What scares you the most but inspires you at the same time?

The photo is very cool! What scares me the most is the world. It's scary to travel by yourself, but the world (new cultures, music, fashion, people, food, lifestyles) inspires me and I don't let my fear stop me. I've traveled everywhere alone (Afria, Asia...) and I'm proud to be a solo woman traveler. Have a lovely weekend! :)

Life.

Sometimes it amazes me and other times it's like a compulsory game that I don't know how to play. Even if I'm always losing, it still brings me inspiration and ecstasy and I'm holding on to it.

The world itself. I'm both inspired and scared by this planet. I am beyond borders when feeling inspired. However, I feel as if i were at the center of the catastrophe when something goes wrong with surface. We all have our ironic sides as you noticed. Someone can be both inspired and frightened by something at the same time. Mine is world that we locate on.

My children scare me to death! Just the idea that, each day, their delicate lives are solely in my hands. And not just their physical lives, their mental, emotional, spiritual lives too. Parenthood is the most daunting, dizzying thing I've ever experienced and yet the most exhilarating and miraculous. It's made me so much more compassionate and determined. I feel now, having been through so much, from pregnancy, through labour, sleep deprivation, breastfeeding every two hours night and day, nappies, nightmares, accidents, illnesses, toddler tantrums... that there's not a lot I couldn't deal with and emerge from stronger.

People.
They are the cruelest beings on earth, yet there are still many good souls and they inspire me.

Passion ~ it scares me because it can just wipe away all the familiar structures and comfortable routine I'm used to in minutes, make me lose the last bits of logic that are left on my mind and dive into something that I might as well drown in... But still, feeling passion is what makes me be myself, it's my engine, something that pushes me to make valuable experiences, so I won't just let it go ^.^
