At the heart of the matter

MissTake1024:
It seems as though a lot of us have this in common, but, being alone is one of my biggest fears.

I'm afraid of failure. I'm afraid that I won't make my parents proud. I'm afraid of letting those I care about down, but I'm afraid of letting them in. I don't want to let my walls down.

i'm afraid of anyone i love will leave me. so i don't let people close and i hide my feelings as much as possible. It probably has to do with my dad dying when i was 7 and then my older sisters not being allowed to contact us. and just other people. That's why it's so hard for me to not just express my feelings, but understanding how others feel...and when i've offended them.

I also fear for the people i have let close and that i care about. that someday when they need me, i won't be there. Or that i won't be able to help them. Part of that is also, i fear that i won't be able to say goodbye to them. There was this lady at church i was really close to and she was really sick and wanted to see me. We were going to go this one day, but things came up. And i never got to see her before she died and she had said there was something she wanted to tell me...and i never found out what it was.

I also fear death. Not me dying. But everyone i love dying. I believe that they go somewhere better, but it doesn't seem quite good enough. Like i don't believe that even after i die that i will be good enough to see them again. I've known so many people who have died and it's very difficult for me to accept that they're not here anymore.

on a less serious note, i'm afraid not just of heights but of falling from them.

Corthos:
I am afraid of never mattering. My greatest hope is to leave a lasting, positive impact on the world, to leave it a little better then I found it. I live in terror of that not happening.

Wattie:
Fearing is not the issue, I think when we consistantly think about life and it's ups and downs we stress ourselves out. Making us fear certain things about life.

p.s holy crap it's been a while since I've been on here.
