Eyes

Eyes reflect fear and joy and feelings. Looking at someone's eyes will tell you a lot about them, but I think the scariest thing, is that you can't do it without giving away a bit of yourself as well. You have to open your windows completely to look inside someone else's eyes.

A few days ago I stared one of my biggest fears into the eyes. It gave me nauseas, it made me scared, I even cried with the thoughts. I started writing a poem -or whatever that outpour of words can be called- and without realizing I started crying. The funny thing is that, as many other intense and strong feelings, this one was triggered because I started reading a book. It was really frightening, and I had to speak to one of my friends because of that. I figured out that I'm too much of an emotional mess sometimes, and I'm very emotional most of the time, so I needed someone who's very rational: Andrés came to the rescue.

The funny thing about Andrés is that he's one of the very few people I know out of whom I don't mind hearing what I don't want to (in a few ocassions): the truth.

After I finished the book I felt actually inspired to face my fears. But it implies a lot so let's see how it goes.

I'm not that scared to look into the eyes of that fear anymore. Or that's what I think.
