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.
