Journal 25

Fear is when you are afraid of something like the fear of spiders in arachnophobia. Fear has extreme power over people and can prevent them from doing certain things and it influences lives and the things you do. The fear of heights can stop people from going on airplanes, roller coasters, and even riding in elevators. I am afraid of being pushed and trapped into a dryer or drowning. The thought of being consumed by water and not being able to get out and feeling the water filling my lungs fill with water. It does not seem like it would be a very pleasant way to go and that is why I think I fear it the most. I can swim but then thinking about possible being trapped in a boat or a car and being trapped is a huge reason that I am scared of drowning. There are a lot of people who drive off the road and land in a lake or any type of water and they die so that is something that I am afraid of. The whole dyer fear started when I was like eight and I watched a scary episode of CSI where they killed the little kid by putting him in the dryer. Now I am afraid that some evil person is going to push me into the dryer and start it. That is why I hate when there is that one sock that is in the very back and you have to reach in their really far to get it almost putting your whole head in and that is the moment that I freak myself out. I am also afraid of someone kidnapping me because they were hiding in the closet so I have to sleep with my closet door closed. I have to be able to see my closet door, the door to my room, and the window to be able to sleep. Those are my fears and they are weird. I know that but that is what I am afraid of.
