Fears

Just like Twyla Tharp I have fears as well and my top five are:

1.       Being in the dark by myself

2.       Never finding a true love

3.       Becoming blind

4.       Losing my brother or mom

5.       Zombie apocalypse

I know they seem rather extreme…but I don’t fear just regular old things. Nothing simple puts fear in my heart besides the whole being in the dark thing but it’s more like being in the dark in an unfamiliar strange place where I don’t know my way. I came a little bit out of the darkness fear this weekend because I went to a supposed to be haunted placed called Under Cliff with a group of like five friends including myself. I was scared mainly because it was already dark outside. So anyways it wasn’t even haunted but I remembered the assignment on the blog so I told my friends to leave me with a flash light just in case I couldn’t find my way and they walked away. I was left in the dark all by my lonesome and for the first like five minutes I wanted to run but I realized I’m only running still in the darkness. I couldn’t hear their voices just their footsteps. Then they footsteps became silent and I thought I was hearing things. I was so scared for someone to just come out and grab me! After about fifteen minutes went by I stood up and turned on the flash light and my friends were close. They never left in fear that I would be too scared. I’m not too sure if I’m completely over my fear but at that moment I wasn’t so afraid like I would normally be. Maybe I will know for sure if I’m stuck in that position of being left in the dark but not by choice. I never had a bad experience in the dark but I always sketched myself out as a child thinking I would hear noises or felt an odd vibe and that kept me from wanting to get over my fear.  I learned that I should probably stop overreacting and just get over it.
