Something You're Afraid Of

Hmmmm... I'm actually afraid of a lot of things. Not necessarily complete irrational  fears, but I'll get that spine-tingley feeling at random things, like the sound of trains, or footsteps, or whenever we cross over a bridge. I'm not afraid of snakes or spiders but I certainly don't like them. I am afraid of cockroaches. I don't even like the fact that that word is now on my blog. Ugh they give me the heeby jeebies.

I'm not really afraid of the unknown. I adapt pretty well to change, and even embrace it sometimes. I would have to say that the number one thing I'm really afraid of is the dark. It's such a childish fear, but I hate being alone in the dark. There's so much more room for your imagination to wander and create scary thoughts when one of your senses is taken away, and the dark is the reason why I was an insomniac for so many years. I would stay awake for hours, afraid to fall asleep. Since then, I have learned to keep my imagination under control. Most of the time. All right, it's still kind of scary.
