I've been spending time up at the Astronomy tower, staring down that terrifyingly sheer drop of the ledge. It's still frightening, but it doesn't make me dizzy anymore. This is the first time I've ever made a concerted effort to get over my fear of heights. I have to wonder though, if it's just a case of familiarity breeding contempt. I really have to find some other high place. Maybe the Quidditch stands.
I want, more than anything, to stop being groundbound. I doubt that I'll ever be as daring a flyer as Cho or Harry Potter, but I will not let a freak accident cripple me like this any longer. I'm starting to realise the other ways this fear has affected my personality, and I don't like it.
