Sabrina-My Fears Do Not Control Me

I've never realized how many FEARS I had until it was chosen as our blog topic this week..

NEEDLES/SHOTS are a very big fear of mine. I don't know why exactly either. They generally don't hurt and I've never had a bad experience to dislike them. They feel odd going in my skin and I don't like that. I always get paranoid when I'm around them. I think someone is going to just stab me with it or something else that is probably really odd to be thinking about and would never happen, but you never know.

Another fear of mine is going nowhere in life. I have goals and need to make sure I follow through with them. I don't want to struggle through life with shit for a job and life going downhill for me. Very scary thought! Thinking of it makes me want to go to school right this second and get if done and over with!

I'm not scared of heights, but scared of falling from high places!

I would not want to die painfully. When my time comes it needs to be short and sweet. I don't want to have a deadly miserable cancer and I certainly don't want to know when my time is coming. I would like to live my life to the fullest and hopefully that happens. I want to reach my goals and have a family before my time comes along. Speaking of death, one of my fears is that my family will die too soon. I know everyone dies, but I don't look forward to the pain of a death in my family. If your old and lived your years then it's expected more than someone who is under 65. That's too young.

Swimming out in the middle of the lake or far out in the ocean scares me a little. I worry about drowning, drifting to far, getting pulled under, sharks and fish. I don't like not being able to see what's underneath me in the water.

Being in the dark scares me sometimes. As with the water I don't like not being able to see what's around me. A little creepy. I don't sleep with a night light or anything, I just try to avoid being in the dark alone in the middle of a deserted area or something similar.

I don't want to let my fears control my life. I still swim out in the middle of the lake and out in the ocean. How much time am I going to take out of everyday to worry about my fears? I won't let my fears get in the way of my life. I am going to live it to the fullest while I have the chance to. I won't be afraid to take risks that are reasonable. Most people didn't run from their fears and become successful, they took a leap of faith and got where they are today!
