Bear With The Fear

Fear the reaper, o child!

Fear Fear, such a dear isn’t it? Scorching your heart in a ghoulish demeanor, pushing your potentials backward, creating a veil in your heart, a dark veil of horror and trepidation, such abominable despair, that you shut your eyes in anguish. You want to break free from the barriers of that dreary distress, but you drown yourself, to the point of no return.

You walk along the path, they stare at you, or at least you think they do. They look you with their vexatious eyes, creating a hole in your mind, making you confined within your limits.

Fear and anxiety, oh the trouble! The luscious atrocious fatality in your life, making you a gauche creature, devouring up your innards. You want to get rid of it, but can you really? Isn’t fear the most primal and inevitable part of us? Isn’t life full of fears and anxieties? Isn’t it?

Your arrival in this world is celebrated with the utmost festivity, but what do they celebrate actually? Your arrival to the valley of dead? The fear of the reaper, the darkness embracing you? Seems like they just do that!

Fear of the gorging stares! Fear of the building stairs! Fear of the devouring dares! Fear of the oblivion! Fear of whatnot! You live through so many fears that you, my dear, become one yourself. Why perhaps you would ask me?

Are fears the ones that overcome us, or is it just a pseudo-psychedelic state of motion created by us? Some fear about this, some fear about that. But the fear is the same, creating a whirlwind of emotions and vibrations in our nonbearing mind, our virginal state of delusions.

You adhere to the smearing fear that rings in your ear, highlighting your vulnerabilities, making you faded to the dust, eating your lumps away?

What if the fear within yourself is the fear created by you? What if it is a metaphysical storm that makes your feelings and bonds impenetrable? A storm that you have to go through in order to keep yourself stable, a storm so strong that with a contradiction it can turn your perforated heart into a healthy one? Again, what if the storm necessarily isn’t a prerequisite for a budding, tolerating life? What if you are the one creating the disaster within yourselves?

With your fear and anxiety, the world seems like a maze, pushing you to the same unknown again and again, to make you lose yourself, to make you feel that sharp tingling pain in your chest, a pain so severe that tears roll from your dry eyes, making them drier. It feels like that you are in a force conducted by the Lord of Trepidations, it feels as if he squished your heart so hard that blood squirted from it.

Your fear is like a classical music montage, creating a sorrowful atmosphere with all accordingly when suddenly it begins to ring loudly, making you realize that it had never been such sorrow, after all, it had been the enigma, coming after you just as it promised it would.

You already know the inevitable, you know that they will chase you to the dark, that they will consume you slowly yet pacing, that you have no escape from them. So you jot down the stunts, gather the last piece of courage within you and face it. You embrace the point of no return. Because what else can you do really?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
