Writer's Block: Bump In The Night
What are you afraid of?
Really too many things to name. But if I numbered them, it might make it easier to put in perspective.
1. Being found out.
2. Losing my family
3. Death
4. airplanes
5. cancer
6. sushi
7. anxiety
8.brain tumors
9. my Mother's wrath
10. my Father's secrets
Mind you, this is in no particular order. I liken my "secretive" nature to not wanting to be found out. But laying all my big fears out on the line really does open me up. (Yuck) So being found out is good and bad at the same time. I honestly wish I wasn't afraid of so many things. I remember being quite fearless as a child. I often imagined jumping from an airplane or even flying the plane. Now I am happy to be on the ground and merely looking at the sky. Cancer is something that kept me up at night from a very young age. I think that has to be the ultimate betrayal, your own CELLS turning against you.
Mother's wrath and Father's secrets speak for themselves. Does anyone ever get over being afraid of pissing their Mom off? I'd like to meet that person. And my Dad, not sure if I want to know the secrets, but at the same time it kills me that I don't.
