This was a tough one.

I originally skipped this day because I knew it was going to be hard to write. But I decided to do it anyways.
Day 2- describe 3 legitimate fears.

1- Failure.
I have a huge fear of not ending up where I want to be in life. I'm afraid that I'm going to be the girl that is in college for 15 years and eventually just gives up because she can't seem to succeed at anything.I know that the chances of this happening are very slim, but just the fact that it IS possible, scares the crap out of me.

2- Death.
This is one of those fears that people make fun of me for having. I mean, why should I be scared of something that every person experiences? I'm not really sure why it scares me so much. There are really two parts to this fear, I'm scared of the people I'm close to dying, and then I'm scared of dying myself. Even after 18 years, I have never had anyone that I'm close to die. I've never been to a funeral, and I don't know how it feels to have something taken away from you completely. I am terrified of how I will react when I lose the people I love. On the other hand, I'm terrified of what happens after we die. Sure, I believe in God and I believe in heaven, but I mean, what is going to be like? Some people are so sure about what our eternity is going to be like, and I just wish I could be so sure.

3- The unknown.
Ah, there is really only one person that I've ever talked to about this, so bear with me if I sound completely ridiculous. The fear of the unknown contradicts everything I've ever been told. There are a long list of questions I have had since I was younger that nobody seems to have the freaking answer to. Questions like, why are we here? How big is the universe, and how in the world did it begin? If it did begin by these little atoms, or whatever, where in the world did those little freaking atoms come from? If it is all because of God, where did he come from? There are so many things that I want to believe, but my curious mind just won't let me sometimes, and that probably makes no sense to any of you.
