Terror does not come with tangible things. It does not arrive with a thunderstorm, or a clown, or a stranger. Terror comes with things that cannot be seen. I am terrified of many things: failure, rejection, disappointment, mistakes. Yet, more than anything, I am terrified of revelation in terms of myself. I am afraid to uncover and expose myself. I am not afraid of this because of what will be thought of me. I am afraid of this because it creates an opportunity for me to be hurt. With revealing myself, I make myself vulnerable and subject myself to pain. I am terrified because I want you to discover me. I am terrified because after I show you everything, I have nothing left, but I still have everything to lose.
