No Twitter – Day 6 – MINERVA ZIMMERMAN

A list of things that scare me (in no particular order):

being unable to save my loved ones
being taken advantage of intellectually without catching on
everyone agreeing with my inner critic
that something I know to be really evil/dangerous seems innocent and harmless to everyone else and I can’t get them to listen and so I am forced to watch as it destroys them
that I have somehow misplaced my pants in public
having a viscous and sticky substance on my hands that I cannot get off
being forced to choose between saving a single loved one when two or more are in peril
watching the deterioration of a loved one in a body they no longer control
losing my mind
caring for my aging parents
being trapped in any way
tight spaces
that everyone will suddenly forget me
losing the use of my hands (and with beginning osteoarthritis this is a big one)
losing language, being unable to speak or write
losing my sense of self
that I will die before I write the stories in my head
that I will forget important memories of people who are no longer here
that I will outlive all of my loved ones
knowing that someday my dogs will die before me
that my actions will cause someone I love to suffer or die horribly
that my body will betray me and breakdown before my mind does
that being happy means I can’t write/create and these two things can never coexist in my life.
