Today’s question is “what are you most afraid of and why?” As a child, I was terrified of the dark because my eyes and imagination would turn everything into scenes from a horror film (I often slept with the light on if I woke up from a nightmare).

Currently, my biggest fear is heights. If I am driving on the side of a cliff for the first time, I can’t look down or I will become very sweaty. I still haven’t done certain rides at theme parks that are very high towers because I look up while waiting too long for the ride to start. Heights for me is definitely irrational and it has progressed over the years in my adulthood.

What are you most afraid of (either childhood, now, or both)?
