I’ll be honest with you guys: All of the weird, irrational stuff I was afraid of as a kid still scares me sometimes. Even growing up, people would say, “stop being such a baby,” like you magically get un-afraid of these things as an adult. Um, nope. False. Not at all true. It’s okay to be a wimp about certain things – the whole reason we have fear in the first place is to protect us from danger, so yes, while we know the incredibly safe rollercoaster will not snap in half and send us plummeting to our untimely death, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE, IS THERE?! Fully aware that I’m being dramatic with this, but there was always this narrative of getting older and becoming braver over time, and for some things, that’s just not at all true.
