The only thing you should fear, is fear itself.

As I was writing this, I realised that confronting and accepting things you're afraid of is so much harder than say, revealing secrets. But it feels good also. In a strange way.

Eight Fears

1. Fear itself. I mean think about it, being afraid sucks! That helpless, pathetic feeling is so horrible. *shudder*

2. Horror movies. Yes, you can mock me for being a loser. But I just CAN'T watch horror movies. I get nightmares, okay!


3. Pushing myself too hard and burning out. Law School really isn't helping the cause.


4. Losing loved ones. Nearly universal, I guess. But true nonetheless. 


5. Hurting people unknowingly. I'm not afraid of it per se, but it's just one of those things that make me really sad.


6. Waking up to find that I'm a dumb blonde. Pardon the stereotype.


7. Plane crashes! It's one of those deep-seated, irrational fears that you can never quite get over. I've made some 10 trips back and forth in the last year itself (since that's the fastest way to get home). But every time I sit in the plane, the only thing I pray for is to not let it crash. The gruesome images of plane wreckage on TV don't particularly help either.


8. Alien invasions. I just don't like the idea of Martians attacking us. What, it's true!

Wait, if you fear #6, I can only imagine how hard every day must be for you... D:

On a more serious note, I realized that I can't quite come up with what I'm afraid of, which is a little disturbing.

Haha very funny. Some locus you have, cracking blonde jokes on me!

Yes. That is disturbing indeed.
