Fear: the thing most people hate but can’t live without.


Fear had me afraid of heights at the age of 3.

Fear had me afraid of spiders at the age of 6.

Fear made me afraid of people at the age of 12.

Fear made me afraid of life at the age of 16.

Fear encouraged me to ride a rollercoaster at the age of 5.

Fear encouraged me to kill a daddy long leg at the age of 7.

Fear told me to make new friends at the age of 13.

Fear told me to walk across the stage towards my diploma at the age of 18.
