It was nothing

A fear, a doubt, something that feels bigger than you.

It happens to everyone, more often than you think.

Some days, even a small problem looks like a mountain.

You lose your breath, wondering if you’ll make it, if you’re taking the wrong path.

Then, with time, things settle.

And you find yourself saying, almost smiling: “It was nothing.”

Most fears are like that — false alarms.

They speak loudly at first, then fade the moment you truly look at them.

They’re clouds passing by, casting shade for a while, then melting into the sky.

The world isn’t against us.

It simply moves forward, at its own pace.

And we can learn to do the same —

to let go of what weighs us down and hold tight to what feels right:

a kind word, a smile, a quiet joy shared with someone close.

With time, you realize the weight wasn’t that heavy.

The noise in your head was just… noise.

And lightness is not naivety — it’s trust.

Maybe that’s the secret: stop giving power to what frightens you,

and start giving value to what brings you peace.

Because in the end, almost always,

it was nothing.
