I've been thinking a lot about my fears recently. I'm fearful of many things, I'm quite the wimp.
Spiders I can't stand. Seaweed causes me to scream when it touches my skin. College is a trip. And even hell scares the shit out of me at times. These are just a few examples of my fears. I have lists more. But I've heard growing up, that it's always good to face one's fears. The eye of the tiger! Overcoming fears and hindrances in one's life is always something that is praised and celebrated by others. All the Hallmark television shows and inspirational programs are built on that principle; that overcoming fears takes strength, endurance and initiative.
One for me was strangers. "Don't talk to strangers!" I always heard growing up. I was scared of people. I didn't know how to talk to strangers and I didn't even want to. I was scared. Then one day I thought, "Really Graham? Scared of people?" and I started traveling, meeting many great individuals around the world who have taught me many things about life, bringing me to where I am today. And I'm happy.
Another was alcohol. "Don't drink it!" I heard growing up. "You'll become an alcoholic!" I was scared of beer. Of wine and whiskey. I was scared of drinking alcohol. Then one day I thought "Really Graham, scared of a liquid?" So I started drinking alcohol which brought forth me meeting many great people who have taught me many things about life, brining me to where I am today. And I'm happy.
Another was women. "Start dating and you'll be married and tied down" I always heard growing up. I was scared of girls, of being married and having a family by the age of 23. Then one day I thought, "Really Graham, scared of women?" and I met Margot, who has taught me many things about myself and life, bringing me to where I am today. And I'm happy.
So really Graham, seaweed?
