What is it you fear?
I have played with tigers. I have stood in the face of a f-5 tornado. I have walked on 1500ºf coals. I have been shot. I have been stabbed. Picked up scorpions. I have witnessed a friend splattered and broken. There is no physical threat that I can imagine that terrifies me. But when a friend suggested yesterday that I watch the movie, "The Notebook" and I started reading the reviews, I was afraid. It took me a day to realize this. It is not a horror movie. No graphic violence mentioned in the reviews. No great terrible thing. It is just a romance movie that got a solid 10/10 rating in every review with 90% of those saying it brought them to tears.
Pretty pathetic my mind tells me, to be afraid of feelings, but hey, I guess everyone has their boogeyman, and I just found mine. Only one thing to do I guess.. (and even now I feel the anxiety rising just thinking about it) Time to watch it..well I have some house cleaning to do, and I could scrub the trash can, and wash out the cats litter box, and a in grown toenail that could use being dug out with a box cutter.. funny how the most unpleasant task become appealing when the alternative is facing ones fears..
p.s. I once heard that there is nothing worse that facing your fears alone, but what if your fears is having some one close to you?
3 things I find I need to work on.
1)Matching my feelings with my actions.
2)Mutual sharing of experiences with my friends.
3)Honestly expressing myself and revealing my thoughts and feeling.
Feel free to add to the list or just to critique.
