I Refuse to Let Fear Control My Daughter’s Journey

Fear is the worst. I can’t stand it. It’s one of those emotions that can linger, haunt you, and refuse to let go, no matter how hard you try to shake it off. Fear shows up in various forms—some can be protective, but many are just paralyzing and can deeply affect the decisions we make.

Not long ago, there was a shooting at a peaceful park near my home. A shooting. At a park. In broad daylight on a Sunday. A friend of mine was there with her two young kids when it happened. That, my friends, is real fear. The kind that makes your heart race and sends you into survival mode. It’s unacceptable. The news headlines haunted me, and I found myself questioning, “How could this happen there? What if I had taken my daughter?” I was furious.

But then a thought hit me: “No.” Just that simple word—no. I refuse to let fear control me. I won’t spend my life worrying about all the unpredictable things that could go wrong. And I absolutely won’t let that fear seep into my daughter’s life as she grows up. Fear is ugly, and I want my daughter to face the world with bold confidence, declaring, “FEAR WILL NOT DEFINE ME!”

Here are five reasons why I choose not to let fear dictate my daughter’s life:

1. I want her to feel free. When my daughter is at the park, I want her to race towards the swings without worrying about what might happen. “What if something bad occurs?” Those are not the thoughts I want in her head during what should be a joyful day. Fear can rob her of a happy childhood. Every child deserves to play freely and safely, unburdened by anxiety. I’m dedicated to protecting her innocence as much as I can.
2. I want her to accept failure. Failure is just another stepping stone to success. I want my daughter to grow up knowing that every achievement comes with its share of setbacks. It’s all about trying, failing, learning, and trying again. I want her to understand that failure isn’t the end; it’s just part of the process.
3. I want her to create her own path. As she discovers her passions—be it dancing, sports, art, or anything else—I want her to pursue them wholeheartedly. If fear takes root in her life, whether from a traumatic experience or societal pressures that tell her she isn’t enough, it will steer her away from her true self. I want her to hear, “You are capable and worthy!” from my partner and me every day.
4. I want her to experience joy. Ultimately, I want my daughter’s life to be filled with laughter and happiness. Fear of the unknown or the darker sides of life will only hold her back. Watching her innocent joy and spark of life, I’m determined to protect that light and encourage it to grow stronger.
5. I want her to love deeply. I want her to embrace love without the weight of fear holding her back. The messages from society that promote vanity over authenticity are lies. I want her to love wholeheartedly, without fearing rejection. That courage should outweigh any fear she may encounter.

I refuse to let fear persist in my daughter’s life as it does in society. I will teach her to confront fear head-on, to be resilient, to question norms, and most importantly, to do all this with compassion and love.
