Day 21 Blog Challenge - My Biggest Fear

31 Day Blog Challenge - March

 

Gertrude the Spider - She was bigger than my hand.

What Do I Fear?

I hate to admit this, but I fear a lot of things. I try not to think of things that scare me, because 99% of the time those fears will never actually happen.  

Ridiculous Fears:

I am scared of aliens. More like the idea of aliens. I can't even watch E.T. because I will have nightmares. 

I'm scared of spiders. Not just big spiders, all spiders. One time while walking on a trail at Riverside Park my friends and I came across a spider that was bigger than my hand, and it had an egg sac beneath it. Until that day I never knew there spiders that large in this area of Canada.

In 2009 I spent an entire year terrified I was going to die from a brain aneurysm. I went to the E.R. twice, and even made my doctor give me a CAT scan. Eventually I found out that all of those headaches were a result from having TMJD.

Realistic Fears:

I'm a little bit scared of going to college. I have no idea what to expect, or how I will be able to manage school, raising Sidney and continuing my hobbies. I think it's normal to be a little bit scared of such a big change/challenge.

I'm super, duper shy. I hate meeting new people, I hate public speaking, I almost passed out during every high school presentation. I don't like being the center of attention, I don't like people looking at me when I'm out in public. 

Fears I Try Not to Think About:

As a parent I'm always worried that something bad might happen to Sidney. That she might get hurt, or sick, someone might take advantage of her, or other kids will hurt her feelings and the list can go on and on. Obviously these are fears I try not to think about, but sometimes I can't help it.
