How ifs

I see a lot of people struggle with their insecurities and fears

Some of them are okay to say it out loud

But some others are like me

We are insecure and afraid to open up about our own insecurities and fears

We are afraid of rejection if we show the world that we are not what we want them to see.

I see a lot of people fight for their dreams and goals

Some of them believe that nothing is impossible if they work hard

But some others are like me

We are afraid of failure it makes us even more scared to start it in the first place.

I see a lot of people are excited to get married

Some of them could not wait to start a family, to have kids

But some others are like me

We are afraid of marriage

How if we would be too late for this?

How if we could not be a good partner?

How if we could not be a good parent?

How if we woke up someday by our husbands or wives and realize that we were not actually ready for this?
How if we fail?

I see a lot of people coping with goodbyes very well

Some of them moved on after losing their loved ones

But some others are like me

We are afraid of losing

We are passionate of being alone, but we are scared of being lonely

How if there would not be enough time

to say goodbye

to express our love

to hear their last breath

to apologize

to see their smile for the last time?
