fear.

hmm. i rather feel like im in a pickle right now. i just got the assignment in my writing class to write about a fear that i have overcome. to tell you the truth, i can't figure out what that would be. the only fears that i have.. are the typical fears. and some are from the experiences that i don't ever want to face again. none of them have been life changing, by choice i choose not to do them anymore.

my fears:

• spiders
• rapists
• heights
• donating blood
• snakes
• dying
• someone in my family dying
• drowning
• clowns
  

i suppose i could overcome some of those fears.

spiders: i hate them. they are creepy. they have 8 legs. multiple eyes. yuck.
rapists: definitely scared of. i just gotta think positive. but still terrified.
heights: the thought of falling off of things.. yikes! i hate looking below and knowing that i could fall any second. and DOOM!
donating blood: i think donating blood is such an amazing thing someone can do. but from personal experiences.. x-nay for me. i've tried it out, the ending results, no bueno! maybe someday i'll give it another try. but i love what comes from it!
dying/someone in my family dying: it scares me to death. haha literally. i hate the thought of losing one of my best friends. aka my family. but just gotta keep my head up and knowing that families are together forever.
drowning: i blame this on titanic. yes i've taken swimming lessons. but still, the thought of it, scares me!
clowns: i think clowns are terrifying. what kind of person wants some person dressed up in crazy makeup and psycho clothes to bring you "joy"! not i said the fly..


so those are my main fears. and have not overcame any of them. and don't really plan on it.
i sometimes think that fear is a good thing. maybe not. but sometimes, yes. because without fear, we would try the unthinkable. where would our conscious be? would it even exist? not only that, its a sort of reasoning within our own selves.

so fear can be good in the long run.
