The fear of falling


Apparently, there's this bit of problem with letting go.

The fear of falling.

When you're so used to holding on to something to keep yourself from falling, letting go can be quite the challenge.

But it's pretty much all in our head, actually. The fear, that is.

Because no one could keep holding on forever. And by no means that anyone should either. Since if the thing you're holding on to with dear life is static and unmoving, that means you're not going anywhere anytime soon.

When you want to go somewhere, being stuck and going nowhere can be... Tiring..?

But pretty soon, you'll realize that there is some merit in stepping out into the world on your own.

In independence. And freedom. And confronting your fear of falling.

Only by letting go, experiencing falling, and learning to stabilize ourselves and control our fall, will all of us be able to grow.

And hopefully, become stronger.

Move (on) faster.

Bounce back higher.

And finally learn how to fly.

So, go on. Let('s) go.
