Declaration of Independence from My Fear

When in a person’s life it becomes necessary for an individual to say enough is enough and separate themselves from the negative thoughts that cloud their mind,  the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God allows them to do so, however they must declare their reasoning.

I hold the truth self-evident that one should be able to control one’s thoughts without interruption, and I have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And when my own thoughts stop me from taking advantage of all these rights, it is up to me to determine whether or not I put up with these destructive thoughts any longer.  I get to lay the foundation of thoughts that will motivate me and that will most likely affect my safety and happiness. I am not excluding you fear. Because of light and transient causes against me if anything a little fear is helpful sometimes, it keeps me alive, but when you enter my brain unwarranted it is my right, and duty to control you and provide new guards, such as bravery and confidence, for my future security. I have been suffering with fear for a long time, and now it is time for me to take charge and control you. I’m not going to allow you to be a tyrant in my life, let your acts tyranny be listed.

You have kept me from taking risks.

You have made me cry in the dark of night for no reason other than to scare me from future when I should have been accepting my future.

You have kept me from talking to people making me worry about their judgements.

You have made me forget every fact I studied, making me worry I wouldn’t get the answer right.

You have made me have panic attacks in the line of roller coasters only to have fun at the end of them.

You have brainwashed me into thinking that my friends are not my friends at all.

You have me walking with my head down in the halls.

You creep into my head at times of relaxation. 

You have made me miss catching a softball in fear of being hit.

You destroy any self-confidence that develops within me.

You make me worry about situations that are not even likely to happen.

You try to control almost every aspect of my life. But ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I have tried to convince myself and fear that it is useless and there is no need to waste energy on something so pointless, time after time. I have tried breathing to control my panic attacks with no avail. I have tried masking the fear with comedy and laughter only for it to come back. Every action ends with no avail or change.

Therefore, I, Angelina Rodriguez, am coming to terms with myself and my fear to declare and publish that I have the right to be happy and free. I am severing any ties that keep me held down from my dreams and future accomplishments. As a free and independent person I have the power to take risks, have confidence in myself, and have the right to do good for myself. I pledge to myself this Declaration within the protection of my sanity, my confidence, and my sacred honor.
