It’s Q and A Day!

I love your Questions, Requests and Comments. Keep throwing em at me and I’ll keep answering and honoring.

Today’s Question

You seem to be fearless. What scares you? Is there anything that scares you?

My Answer

Hell yeah!  Although it’s true, I’m not so scared of the usual biggest fears out there. I’m like check, yeah done that, I’m good, nope, doesn’t freak me out. But since you asked the question, I had to ponder for a moment. What scares me the most?

First of all…

What are the biggest fears in life?

Fear of Flying

Fear of Public Speaking

Fear of Heights

Fear of the Dark

Fear of Intimacy

Fear of Death

Fear of Failure

Fear of Rejection

Fear of Spiders

Fear of Commitment

Have any of those fears, chicken?

Nope, I’m all good. I fly all the time and love it.

I love speaking on stage even more.

I love heights.

The dark doesn’t bother me. I have a flashlight on my Iphone.

Intimacy is awesome.

What about the ultimate fear?

Death?

I have friends who see dead people and I’ve heard so much about ‘the other side’, not to mention my own spiritual experiences, that death is just another level that sounds pretty gosh darn awesome actually.  Gimme some heaven. Although, I am loving this heaven on Earth life I’m leading and am fine with postponing death for a long time.

That said, there are ways to die that freak me out but death itself, nah.

I’ve failed and been rejected so many times that I’m like ah well, okay next.

And I think spiders are pretty cool. I even wrote about a scary spider in my upcoming book series. His name is Aaron Arachnophobia. He’s a spider scared of himself. I love him.

And commitment? Well, I’m getting married this summer and I’m committed to answering your questions on Tuesdays!  Hehehe

But what scares me the most?

Here are the things that scare the bejeezus out of me:

(not necessarily in this order)

1. Enablers

Really? Scared of enablers? YES!

Perpetrators (aka child rapists) are one thing, but the ones who enable them to hurt kids scare me even more. With a perp, you know what you’re dealing with – a sociopath or psychopath freak who can be violent, manipulative, evil and larger than life scary. They make me angry, but enablers scare the *&#@ outta me!

They have the most alien robot denial looks to them that freak me out and when they say things like “I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything is just fine here. The children are safe” a cold chill runs up my spine.

AHHHHHHHHH!!

2. Serial Killers

Okay, they are fascinating in some sense and I get a strange satisfaction from watching shows about them – but honestly they have me frozen in fear with their creepier than creepy ways they come up with to hurt and kill people. Oh my Gawd.

It also gives me such the willies that EVERYONE who knew them is like oh yeah, they kept to themselves, they were nice, they were always on time to work etc etc. That means that one of them could be right under your nose. Chills. I just got chills.

Get that normal guy haircut, those starched polyester pants and big ole glasses away from me you normal freak!

HEEEEEELPPP!!!

3. Flesh Eating Funguses

Seriously.  When I went to Costa Rica (on a vacation by myself, thank you very much to my fearless self) I got one of those weird funguses after two weeks there. It was on my neck by my ear and all the locals were like, ah, yeah, that happens to everyone. I have never seen anything like that flesh eating disgusting LIVE thing in my life! I was totally completely utterly freaked out and it scared the bejeeezus out of me.

I almost fell into a coma thinking about it just now.

Of course the locals had the dream cream that made it go away in about two days. But does anyone tell you about the flesh eating fungus when you’re heading off on your tropical adventure? Nope. No one. Nada.

EWWWWWWW!!

4. Tornadoes

I lived in California long enough to not be freaked out by earthquakes but tell me there’s a tornado on the way and I will poo my pants. Maybe it’s because you can actually see them coming. Maybe it’s from all the times I watched The Wizard of Oz. But tornadoes scare me. I don’t want to see one, be near one or hear that one’s coming.

OHMYGAWWD!!

Politicians trying to undo the constitution scare me too, but that’s an entirely different post that needs 500 + words all on it’s own.

What does not scare me and actually makes me happy happy happy are discovering other creative people like I do when I read the Yeah Write posts. I’m an addict. It scares me when I can’t read every single one.

What scares you the most?

Please tell me in the comments.
