One of my gifts for Christmas was season 6 of NCIS - in the special features is a song one of the actress' on the show sings. I really relate and I think so many people on here will too so I thought I might just share it. Here is Pauley Perrette's (the forensic scientist) song 'Fear (Stop making friends):
Are you scared of the dark
Are you afraid they'll break your heart
Are you afraid you'll lose yourself
Are you afraid of your own health
Are you scared to lose
Are you afraid to choose
Are you afraid you'll win
Are you scared of your own sin
Are you scared to forgive
Are you afraid to live
Are you afraid to die
Do you think it's all a lie
Chorus:
To live
When you think you're dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you're gonna fall
It's just fear after all
It's only fear after all
Are you afraid you'll be alone
Are you scared to pick up the phone
Are you scared of the past
Do you think that you might crash
Do you think you're in too deep
Are you afraid to sleep
Are you scared there's no stability
Are you afraid of your own fragility
Chorus
To mend
When you're think you're breaking
To strength
When you know you're shaking
To pray
When your back's against the wall
It's only fear after all
Are you scared of the end
Are you scared to begin
Are you scared of the start
Do you think they'll break your heart
Do you think they'll break your heart
Chorus
It's only fear
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
It's only fear
I love it, hope you guys do too.


Thank you for sharing that. I have been facing my fears these past three years. I got tired of running from them and letting them control my life. I am getting stronger and facing fears is getting easier. Life is improving because I stand and fight instead of run in flight filled with fear.
