As i was laying in the living room...pondering my anxieties over my unknown future and the fears about not knowing what will even happen tomorrow...a small visitor showed up before me. A little brown spider...and though i'm deeply afraid of spiders...i moved closer to get a better look. And when i did...the spider took notice of me and began to examine me as well. In that moment we both stopped in our paths of life and looked at each other...pondering the mysteries of the unknown, I pondering it's existence and how it relates to my own and the spider...perhaps pondering my existence and if i'd hurt it. For 20mins the spider and I sat staring at each other...it would now and than tilt it's head up...maybe to get a better look? And within those moments i realized that fear is a silly thing. To be afraid of the unknown is absurd, because fear is natural but when it effects your life it's becomes nothing of use. I feared that spider...why? It didn't hurt me...nor did i hurt it...i simply didn't understand it...so i feared something about it. But i don't need to understand it to be okay. I just need to believe in an undeniable feeling inside me...a faith of kinds...a guiding light that tells me where i need to be. If i follow that light...i don't need to fear anything.
