Writing Challenge Day 19: Five Fears

What are my five fears? Gosh, where do I start? Don't we all have fear? Some rational, some, maybe not so much? Fear is a natural emotion, something we shouldn't be ashamed of. Yet, I'm almost afraid to admit mine. But nonetheless, here we go.

Failure.

I think everyone has this fear to some extent. The fear of not reaching every goal that you set for yourself, or that others set for you. The fear of not reaching your full potential or the fear of making the wrong decision that turns you down a different path. Need I keep going?

Changing For The Wrong Reasons.

I fear that someday, somewhere down the road, someone will come into my life that is bad for me, but I won't know it. Will I change my life, my dreams, my aspirations for them? Will I sacrifice myself and my happiness for someone else?

Being Alone.

Will I ever find the one? I hope so.

So I mentioned irrational fears...and I have one... or two.... ish.

I have an odd fear of the volume button on the radio/tv/computer/anything with a volume option and it being set at an odd number. This may be a tad OCD, I don't know, but it freaks me out! Irrational, right?

Cemeteries.

I hate them. I won't go near them. I wasn't always this way but it started to develop when my Grandma died before I started 6th grade. I refuse to go to the cemetery and visit the grave stones. Which is terrible and I kick myself every time but I just cannot do it. Physically cannot do it. Just a few months ago, I got up the courage, or so I thought, to go visit my grandparents gravesides after school one day. I didn't make it past the front gate. I couldn't get myself to go any further. I don't know if I ever will be able to.

So, there you go. A few of my fears. What are yours? Comment here or post them to my Facebook page!
