Eight Fears

I started this on Friday and got almost all the way finished, and then got totally sidetracked... and then accidentally deleted the file. So let's start over again.

1. Losing the use of my hands. I use them SO much that I am totally scared of the idea of losing them. My mom has some sort of condition that has made her index fingers swell up and look all mangled, and I really hope it's not hereditary.

2. Heights. I can't even get close to the edge of our (27th floor) balcony without getting woozy.

3. Losing my home.

4. People I love dying.

5. The world devolving to resemble something out of the movie Idiocracy.

6. My parents deciding to disown me because they found out something about me they really didn't like. Probably a completely baseless fear, but it is what it is.

7. Meeting certain people on the street. Not because of what they would do, but how I might react because what they've done to me in the past. Fortunately the chances of this happening are pretty much slim-to-none.

8. Being stuck as a legal assistant for the rest of my life.

"8. Being stuck as a legal assistant for the rest of my life."

Stuck??? In what way are you feeling "stuck" now? What would you rather do for the rest of your life? Be the attorney? Do something totally different? If there is a career path you would rather be on, what steps can you take to get there?
