What scares you? \u00a0What scares me?<\/p>\n

Can you verbalize it? \u00a0Do you even know what makes your heart start pounding, your blood run cold and your eyes glass over?<\/p>\n

I don’t think I know for myself. \u00a0I am fearful of sitting down to think about and fully realize what scares me. \u00a0A few things sit on the edge of my mind that I am aware of, but I don’t want to verbalize them. \u00a0I don’t want to think about them for fear of them coming to be.<\/p>\n
