Day 4 of 31 day blog challenge is What are you afraid of.
Good question well my silly fear is big hairy spiders I just hate them they make my skin crawl but I would say my biggest fears are the following:
• Losing people I love - I can't bare the thought of life with them It just feels they will be here forever with me, so I would rather not think about it.
• Never being contented with what I have - I always seem to want more from life, will that ever stop why can't I just be happy with what I have.
• Not being needed anymore - I like to feel special and that I cannot be replaced. After going off on maternity for a year it made me realise I can be at work so I just hope it never happens in my family life.
• Not being successful in something (anything) - I feel I always try but never actually get there.
• Not being able to be happy - I find any happy things that happen in life always have to be ruined in some way. One example in my life is finally getting our own house which we longed for but then neighbours cause us so much stress and now we are stuck in house we no longer what to be in.
I could probably write much much more but it is a rather depressing list so I will stop.
I can relate to a lot of these fears. I've learned that in life, success is something only you can measure for yourself. I always ask myself: "what do I need to accomplish/be able to do, for me to feel like this was a success?" It's great because it can be very validating to choose your personal definition of success. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly relate to the fear of not being happy -- since I am my own worst critic that is a big one for me. Spiders is one I included on my own post for the Blog Challenge -- I have a terrible phobia about spiders, the bigger and hairy the worst it is -- sigh.
