When the Monsters Under the Bed Grow Up
Fear doesn't vanish when you turn on the lights. As a child, I'd lie frozen in bed, convinced monsters lurked in the shadows. But here's what nobody tells you: those monsters don't disappear with age-they just change shape. They morph from imaginary creatures into very real anxieties about rejection, failure, and being truly seen. The first time I tasted social fear, I was in kindergarten during show-and-tell. I proudly displayed a button that had fallen off my jacket, expecting awe. Instead, I got laughter. That moment-so small, so ordinary-planted a seed that would follow me for decades. It taught me that the world could be unpredictable, that vulnerability could backfire, that maybe it was safer to hide. My family moved constantly for my father's job, and with each relocation, those fears intensified. By high school, I'd hide in the library rather than brave the cafeteria alone. Fear became my shadow, always there, whispering that I should protect myself, stay small, avoid risk. Perfectionism became my armor-if I could control everything, maybe I'd never feel that kindergarten humiliation again. Then I met Chip, whose fearlessness baffled me. He approached life with a boldness I couldn't comprehend. When we opened our first Magnolia shop, my fears screamed at full volume. During a buying trip with my mom, doubt overwhelmed me until I finally broke down. That day, something shifted. I realized I could acknowledge my fears and still move forward. Vulnerability-not safety-was my path to freedom. The journey beyond fear isn't about eliminating it completely. It's about recognizing fear's presence while still taking that next brave step, discovering that what waits on the other side isn't disaster but often the very thing your heart has been longing for all along.
