Just earlier today, I completed one of those ‘getting to know you’ meme emails that come around every now and then and one of the questions was ‘what do you fear’. I couldn’t think of anything. I have no phobias and I am not a nervous person.
I suppose I consider myself to be pretty fearless. Public speaking? Piece of piss. Drowning? Pah. Spiders are cute. The youth of today is largely misunderstood. Nuclear war would be a bit of a bummer but I can’t say it plays on my mind. The only things I fear are the big things that I think everybody fears: I fear being lonely; I fear never having children; I fear my loved ones dying. But all that other stuff, it doesn’t really faze me.
By the way, Plinky is my new little online toy which gives daily prompts by asking a question. I love this site and it allows you to embed you answers on your own blog so is perfect for when you need a little inspiration or a fresh idea.
WOW. No phobias – that’s so cool! I wonder how you became that way. Is it something about how you were raised, or just your state of mind about things? So cool!
I think it is definitely related to my upbringing as my parents are pretty fearless themselves and my mum did keep the things that do bother her to herself.
