WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? ROLLER COASTERS? SNAKES OR SPIDERS? SHARKS? OR MAYBE YOU’RE LIKE ME AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE AFRAID OF. AND I MEAN THAT LITERALLY.

THE CONCEPTS THAT I FIND TERRIFYING ARE THINGS LIKE THE FACT WE’VE ONLY DISCOVERED ABOUT 10% OF THE WORLDS OCEANS. THAT THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING SO FAST, WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT’S OUT THERE PAST A CERTAIN DISTANCE. OR WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND YOU’RE TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THAT FIGURE IN YOUR CLOSET IS A PERSON OR JUST A JACKET? AND ON ANOTHER SIDE OF THE SAME COIN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PICTURE OF A PERSON AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM IS SLIGHTLY OFF, BUT YOU JUST CAN’T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT…

BUT WHAT IS THERE TO BE SCARED OF? NONE OF THIS STUFF CAN HURT YOU AND MOST OF IT IS ON SUCH A LARGER LEVEL, IT WOULD NEVER AFFECT YOU PERSONALLY. PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THE FEAR DOESN’T COME FROM WHAT IT CAN OR CAN’T DO, BUT RATHER WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE HIDING INSIDE. HOW MANY TERRIFYING OCEAN CREATURES HAVEN’T DISCOVERED? WHY HASN’T THE MATH ADDED UP IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE UNIVERSE? WHAT IF THATS NOT A JACKET AND SOMEONE GOT INTO YOUR HOUSE?

I’VE MOSTLY GROWN OUT OF THIS FEAR, AND HAVE DEVELOPED MORE RATIONAL FEARS, LIKE OF ELECTRICITY, BUT IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT ALL THESE ISSUES STILL EXIST. I CAN ONLY WONDER IF WE WILL EVER FIND OUT WHAT’S INSIDE NOTHING.
