I have a lot of fears. Perhaps misplaced, but I cannot help it. I will always believe that if I press hard enough into my belly button I will die. I will always believe that if I don't face the mirror sometime during the night, Bloody Mary will come out and eat me. These are sub-fears, I say, things I fear but don't really think about during the course of the day.
The fear that I will fail is always imminent in my mind. I am afraid to fail. Failure is a part of learning, people say, but to me it means the ultimate end, finality. This is probably baseless, but nevertheless... I still have it.
And I fear I will grow old and lonely and live with twenty-seven cats in a creaky old house. That is a fear. Perhaps exaggerated, but sometimes I stay up late, hugging my pillow, teary-eyed, always afraid. It's difficult to live like this.
Rejection hurts. Really badly, at that. I'm so alone right now.
