K2. fears

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. Eleanor Roosevelt

                I think that we live in a scary world and there is so much to be afraid of. There are many bad people and scary things that exist. I am afraid of so much. I overthink a lot of things and scare myself half of the time. The thing I am the most afraid of is bears. I had a nightmare about bears a few years ago and ever since then I have been terrified of them. I am afraid to go into the woods because I’m scared I will come across a bear. Another thing that I am afraid of is being home alone at night. I always get scared that there is something in my house and I get really scared. I’m really afraid of basements. I get really scared walking at night. I hate driving the teenagers in the snow because I’m afraid to get in a car accident. I get scared when I go on boats. I’m really afraid of losing a member of my family, ecspecially my mom. The future scares me because I don’t know what is to come and have no idea what will happen. I’m afraid of spiders and snakes. I hate them so much and I get so scared every time I see them. I’m afraid of swimming in ponds because there might be snapping turtles in them. I’m afraid of graduating high school and having to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I will be the first person to admit that I’m afraid of so many things, but I think everybody is afraid of a lot and there is nothing wrong with fearing things.
