gremlin

I feel like there's a part of me that's terrified of success, a little voice that urges a life of sloth and cake. I need to sooth that little gremlin, convince her to join me in this journey rather than fighting me the whole way. My gremlin is like some loudmouth high school bully, all hot air and attitude hiding a bad home life and need for love. The hard part is to engage with her rather than just shutting her out. The gremlin can learn and change, and I can learn and change, and I must let go of my fear so I'll be strong enough to love even this horrible little gremlin, this fearful part of myself.
