Fears...

I am afraid of losing all I care about... family, friends, animals...
I am afraid of being judged.
Of never being loved.
Of making the wrong decision and it affecting not only me, but everyone around me.

I am afraid to stand out. Of not staying true to myself. I am afraid of the word perfect

I am afraid of dying. I am afraid to be alone. Of how people see me. I am afraid of being boring. Of never taking a risk.

I am afraid of being a bad parent friend, aunt, and daughter.

I am afraid of waking up one morning and being blind. Of not being able to hear,taste or smell.
I am afraid of not impressing you.
Of not loving someone the way I should have. I am afraid to not find that special someone.
I am afraid of not reaching my potential.
I am afraid of the word control...of people controlling me and my dreams.

I am afraid of strangers.

I am afraid of first impressions. Of not being what I put myself out to be.
Of disappointing my parents.

I am afraid of a lot of things.They may seem ridiculous, confusing, or simply weird. But that is a risk I am going to have to take even if I am.. afraid.

  1. Best line: I am afraid of the word perfect. You should try to do this more. Say more than you're actually saying. If that makes sense.

    For example, the line 'I'm afraid of not being a good friend' doesn't say anything other than what it's saying. There's no additional interpretation possible. But the word perfect. That can mean so many different things.

    Ps. I like the changes you made to your blog. You made changes, right?
