Numerous inspirational sayings exhort us to face our anxieties head on and not allow them to rule our lives. However, in practice, facing and conquering one's fears can be challenging. I can speak to this, as I have battled fear in the past.
In this 300 word essay, I'll be discussing my greatest fear, which is around enormous bodies of water. It involves seeing yourself kilometres off the coast, encircled by deep sea life such as whales, sharks, enormous jellyfish, crabs, and more. I don't know when or how this dread started, but it really started to show during my adolescence.
Even though I was fascinated by the ocean and its creatures, the more I discovered how vast and unpredictable it was, the more afraid I became of it.
I had never had to face this worry head on until I moved to Singapore. I was afraid even to stroll on the paths that bordered the water.
Encouraged by others, I walked closer to the water, telling myself that entering it would entail adjusting to a foreign environment. I began by simply listening to the rhythms of the water, and then I swam up to my knees and even my chin. I even tried snorkel ling for fifteen minutes one day. My concerns took over at first, and I sobbed uncontrollably. But when I fed the fish and looked at the coral, it dawned on me that I was actually experiencing underwater life not just watching a movie or seeing a recorded video. It was a separate world, serene and lovely in its own particular way.
In conclusion, conquering fear is a difficult task that may be accomplished with persistence and help. Overcoming one's concerns can result in development and novel experiences. Even though I still have a fear of the water, I'm happy with my development and eager to see where my trip will lead me next.
