Stepping into FEARS

with curiosity & EXCITEMENT


It's just take time, please be gentle with yourself

As someone who has faced three profound fears:

  1. 1. Ghost phobia
  2. 2. Being heartbroken
  3. 3. Being cyber-bullied

Which one was the most terrifying?

BEING CYBER-BULLIED

I thought being hated, slandered, and attacked online was terrifying. But after experiencing it, it was merely a headache.


With so many irrational attackers, I had the opportunity to use my MASTERMIND to navigate through the crisis.


"They say I did something bad

But why's it feel so good?

Most fun I ever had…"


Time to overcome: Just a few months.

BEING HEARTBROKEN

This was harder – mood swinging between love and anger towards the same person. The internal conflict was devastating.


There was no winning or losing, no intellectual defense. All battles were meaningless.


Time to overcome: 2 years.

Crying every night over 400 days.

We will be okay, after all.


I might have seemed miserable – but no. On the contrary, it helped me love my VULNERABILITY and all the SHATTERED PIECES inside my heart.

GHOST PHOBIA

Surprisingly, this is the most terrifying for me! Why?


No angry mobs to defend against.

No ex-lovers to love then hate then move on…


Ghosts are invisible entities that I can't see, touch, or confront. What a common raw fear I couldn't overcome!


Luckily, my ghost phobia became my SUPERPOWER! Every life challenge seems manageable compared to this primordial fear :))

Through decade of storms, both professional and personal dramas feel lighter because…

Well, at least they're not as scary as ghosts! 😂

A little reminder, as always:

Our fears are ancient survival strategies, echoes of a younger self desperately protecting our core. Each coping mechanism tells a story of resilience, not weakness. Embrace that younger self with compassion, understanding that every protective response was born from deep love and survival instinct.

We are safe now.
