The little voice always speaks the truth.

He was staring out the window while he waited, focused on nothing, when the thought came unbidden, in a quiet voice so unlike his own.  It said, "I wonder what my life would have been like if I wasn't so full of fear, if I wasn't raised to be so afraid."  The thought shook him awake, brought him back from wherever he'd been and he immediately tried to dismiss it because though he wouldn't admit it, it was true and it scared him.

It happened yesterday and it was frightening because for the first time I realized that I really have been afraid, that choices I've made were not made because that's what I wanted but because I was afraid to choose otherwise.

It makes me sad and yet I am suddenly energized to change it.
