According to one of the teachers in the great movie of Donnie Darko, fear and love are the most extreme emotions and every situation can fall into either "fear" or "love". I do not really agree with this and neither did Donnie. Not everything is in black in white, most things are gray and you can't say something is fear or love. Sitting down in a chair isn't a spectrum of fear. It isn't a spectrum of love either. I don't really want the blog to be all about this, but when I hear the word "fear" I immediately think of that scene in Donnie Darko where Donnie is in health class and completely tells that teacher that you cannot divide situations into either fear or love.
Now, I'm going to move the blog toward what scares me. I worry about getting fired sometimes. Not that I'm bad at my job or anything because I'm not, but I just freak out about things like that. I have a big fear of someone breaking into my house- especially when I'm home alone at night time. I get really freaked out about getting into car accidents, mainly when I'm driving, or someone else who I've never driven with is driving. There are a few people who I know that I don't trust behind the wheel, but for the most part I trust the people who drive me around from time to time. Even if I trust their driving, though, it's usually in the back of my mind. If I'm in a sketchy area, I get the fear of being kidnapped or rapped or something of that nature. I'm not exactly the strongest person and it would probably be hard for me to escape that situation if they grabbed me. Also, I kind be quite claustrophobic. Sometimes if it's dark and I'm home alone/everyone else in my house is asleep I start thinking about ghosts and stuff, too. For the most part, I just have your average fears.
