I can't deny the fact that I'm afraid of a lot of things.

But when I was asked by a friend what scares me the most, the first thing that came to my mind was losing myself as I grow older.

I am a lot of things to other people: a son, a friend, a lover, a somebody, an inspiration, an enemy....

But to myself? I am ME.

A summation of all my failures and triumphs. Someone who has been through a lot and chose to live anyway because I intend to unravel a beautifully written story weaved by the cosmos using my emotions as ink.

I fear to lose this part of me that sees everyday as a blank canvas that needs an image painted on it. A version of me that yearns a kaleidoscope of laughter and genuine connections.

I don't want to see a stranger when I look in the mirror.

You, what is your greatest fear?
