Name the fear

The mind loves a vague threat.

"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality." — Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Last week I lay awake at 2 a.m. running the same loop. The deal. The what-ifs. The worst case on repeat.

Then I did something small. I wrote the fear down in one sentence.

On paper it looked ordinary. Manageable. Almost boring.

Named things shrink. Unnamed things grow in the dark.

Give a fear edges, and it loses its teeth.

What if the thing you keep circling would fit on a single line — and shrink the moment you wrote it down?
