PUPPET TO FEAR
What are you afraid of?
What are your attachments?
Failure teaches us resilient
Failure teaches us to go on
Loving someone too much and the feeling of losing them forever.
Changes happen every day
We cannot stay too long in our comfort zone
We have to face the Jungle sooner or later
Struggles are not permanent
Fear is there, but used it to be safe in a healthy way.
Be kind to yourself and show compassion
My biggest fear is not living up to others' expectations
That is why I was a puppet to my fears
( My mom expected me to be smart. Everyone I am close to wants me to be healthy and act like a young person. My body sometimes deceives me, or am I not taking care of it properly enough?)

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.

Love how you laid it all out! Fear, expectations, and the struggle to be kind to ourselves—it's all there, and so relatable. You really captured the inner battle in a way that hits home!
