What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

Illustration from Google

I’d be the one who is scared of the stars falling from the sky and the sky ceiling collapsing on the earth. I am also afraid of losing eyesight overnight if my eyes are not adequately moisturized as instucted by my ophatomologist. And what if I take a plane that will crash? Most of all, what if the world I am in now is a make-belive world, something similar to one of the Backrooms? Will all my fearsome misgivings materialize because the curse is not lifted? Are my present fears are indeed less than horrible imagings? These are my litany of fears, full of sound and fury, trying to make sense of them – in vain.

    Your vivid description of your fears, ranging from celestial events to personal health concerns and existential doubts, is quite evocative. It’s interesting how you weave together both realistic and fantastical elements in your fears, highlighting how our minds can create complex scenarios. The way you express these concerns shows a deep sense of introspection. Do you find that writing or talking about these fears helps you to manage them, or is there another way you find effective in dealing with these thoughts? 🌟👁️✈️🌌

      Thank you! Yes, expressing my fears or worries has a cathartic effect, and I believe that’s one of the purposes of art. Also, communication helps relieve the malady of the heart to a certain degree.🦄
