Is it in Us to Lay Down the Fears we have Within Us?

For every experience we go through, negative or positive, it molds us into what we are today. From the environment in our family and to the society that we experience through our senses - we take them all in and interpret them in our own way. When everything seems to go right, we are on cloud 9... when some of us face difficult challenges we wither away and falter... while others grow stronger physically, mentally, and financially after each failure or negative experience...

But there is one type of experience that would forever affect us the most immediately after we experience them - the end of a long serious relationship because it affects everything inside of us including our hearts, emotions, and thoughts. Depending on each person - some move on quickly while others may not get over it for many years.

Every one of us deals with it differently... Although some of us may heal, move on, and continue living a happy life after - some of us may now have this linger feeling of fear inside of us... this fear may translate into some of us being defensive and protecting ourselves from ever experiencing those emotions and memories again... But we know we must get over this fear - otherwise how will we be able to make someone else happy, have wonderful experiences with, build new memories with, and make that special person smile?
