Do you think it's okay to voice profound fears

Or does that invite negativity in life? Every now and again, I'm gripped by fear of the uncertainty of my future. It just started this year when I turned 58.

I might start venting my fears here..every now and then ... this place is like a diary for me

Voice them to whom?

To yourself? Certainly you should because only then can you dismiss them.

To others? Perhaps it depends on whether you can trust those people to have your best interests at heart. Or you do it anyway and discover early who really matters to you.

The future comes whether you will it or not. You can choose whether to interpret your fears as negative or as rational concern to be acted on.
