Today I want to talk about fear...not spiders or snakes or plane crashes. I mean the real, seemingly banal fears we all have about our lives. You know you have them, yet you never take the time to address them directly. Humans don't like to do things that make them uncomfortable, but often the end result is a sense of peace and reasoning which would otherwise elude us.
So...what are my fears? I am afraid that my career plans will flop and the self I had imagined in that most ideal of contexts will never come to fruition. I am afraid that my living situation will be challenged and pressured by other individuals who have already made it occasionally less than pleasant. I am afraid that my goal of a healthy and functional family for myself will fall through the cracks due to complications of life as it is now and may be for the next few years. I am afraid that I will not provide the things I want for said family if it does happen. I am afraid that I may not be able to find the solutions for some of my problems and that things in my life that I cherish may be lost because of that. I am also afraid of being afraid, I do not want to live my life that way. I refuse to. I must remain resilient.

>whew<
Okay, so....what are your fears? Go ahead, you'll be amazed at how clearer the air feels after you blow out all the shit.
