People often say, "Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of a rope for ten years," but what traps us is not the rope that resembles a poisonous snake, but the wounds deep in our hearts that continue to pull at us. The self-doubt that twists and turns in the late night, the sudden retreating thoughts that arise when faced with opportunities, are all the unhealed scars silently shouting out. Just like a startled bird curled up in a corner, we subconsciously build a seemingly safe fortress through avoidance, but we also keep possibilities locked outside the door.

The opportunity for healing lies in gentle self-dialogue. There is no need to force oneself to become fearless immediately; try gently touching the inner fragility as if caressing an old scar: admit the collapse of trust caused by that betrayal, accept the self-denial that remains after failure. Start by giving a sincere smile to a stranger, attempt to take on a somewhat challenging task, or reopen that book that once made you feel defeated—these small actions are like rays of light, quietly dissolving the hard ice of fear.

The brilliance of life lies in exploring the unknown. If we become trapped by the fear of being hurt again, it is no different from actively giving up the possibility of experiencing the vastness of the stars and the sea. When we muster the courage to face our inner demons, those "ropes" that once made us hesitate will ultimately become the ropes for climbing to great heights. Every confrontation with fear is a way of unshackling the soul; when the shackles finally fall away, we will see the truly vast world, which always grows at the end of our self-imposed limitations. #Move
