Escape

In my life, I would like to escape my fear-clowns. Everyone probably wants to escape their fears but we always have to face them. You can't just run away from your fears because they will come chasing after you. Once you confront that fear though, it's like your not scared anymore and you are glad that you confronted it. I think that in life you can't run away, you have to be strong and brave. Running never solves any problems, in fact it only makes things worse. In order to escape any part of my life, I am going to have to face it.To this day, even if I see a clown, I will run away or start crying. I know that is not the mature way to handle it, but it helps. One of these days I will be courageous and bold and face it because I believe that is the only way to conquer my fear.

"Fear is what stops you. Courage is what keeps you going." :) This turtle can represent escape. When we want to escape, we hide. We are frightened and terrified. This turtle depicts that even when we are scared we will never be able to fully escape, our eyes will be right there, wide open. We have to learn to face what we want to escape because it will never go away.
