I'm terrified

Sometimes the things we shouldn't be afraid of are the things that scare us the most


I'm terrified of the video games my brother never stops playing.
My parents are talking about finishing the basement
and I'm scared that my brother will never move out if they do.

One time my friend was hurt and the only thing I could do to help was distract her by talking about Hallmark Christmas movies.  I'm scared to be in a situation like that again - feeling helpless when someone you love is in pain.

I'm terrified that the retirement money won't be enough to keep us going until dad finishes school and I panic at the sight of empty wallets and dry bank accounts.
I'm scared when they argue over how much money we have left.

When we reveal I'm worried people won't read or comment on blogs anymore.
but I'm more worried about the things people post about, depression and losing hope
That. That's what scares me the most. When others don't realize how important they are.


but after reading everyone's posts about fear I've noticed there are three things most of us all have in common:

We're afraid of
 Things that have happened in the past or could happen in the future
Things we can't control 
and other people
