Fear // Courage

I’m noticing how fear rarely arrives as a single feeling for me — it spreads, scattering through my body until it becomes restless and uneven, making me pull back without deciding to. Carrying that tension through ordinary days takes its own quiet effort, like holding myself together while something inside keeps edging apart. I call this Fear // Courage — not as an answer, just as a way of naming where self-protection and possibility sit side by side in me. In this sweatshirt, I notice one form breaking apart while another holds its edge. One feels scattered, the other more contained. Sometimes the whole shape feels like standing beside something unstable without moving away. The small red triangle is where my attention keeps returning when the pull grows sharper — not a solution, just a physical point I find myself coming back to while the clash stays active.
