Fearing the unknown - Letting go of certainties

Summer in the city. It will be hot again, this week.
Welcome back for some thoughts concerning holding on to certainties and fear of the unknown.
The closer the day is coming of not getting any money anymore the more the fear is choking me.
I wake up and it is the first thing I think about in the morning.
Inflation, rising energy costs, war, drought... What am I going to do?
I am with the lucky ones because I still have some money in the bank but for how long will it be there?
I am not a house owner.
It makes me feel vulnerable because maybe I will have to depend on others for survival in the future.
I can understand my students better now. Although I haven't gone through what some of them had to endure,
not even close...
When you have it all, it's easy to look to the other side and decide the world just functions like this.
We should go and make a better world for ourselves and others.
There should be enough for everyone.
Living in a community with others is my beautiful dream.
We all bring in what we know the best.
We take care of each other.
We learn to live together.
That would be a difficult part too.
I have always been a bit of a loner.
Being with people all the time can be very overwhelming.
I am at the point where I learn to be truly who I am without any restrictions or filters.
This is very scary because you never know how others will respond to that.
I am a person of not so many words.
I think too many words are being used so I stopped reading books
and articles that are longer than one page.
I am starting to express myself in many ways: daring to speak up,
making things, dreaming us a beautiful new world.
Maybe I will see you around somewhere in the new world.
