I remind myself of all the times I swore
I couldn’t do it
when I was ready to give in
the fear too palpable to swallow
I think of those moments
life-changing decisions I couldn’t see myself
seeing through
and think of who I am today
the antithesis of that fear
the phoenix from that rubble
I take those ashes and scatter them
like confetti

I love taking the fear that once stymied you, burning it, and scattering its ashes like confetti. Terrific imagery!!
