  1. She didn’t want to be afraid. But there was something about the world that put her off, something about how when she focused on one moment, she realised how small she was. The universe was bigger than her and would always be.

  4. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. I think that was FDR. Not that it matters, it was bullshit anyway. The only thing there is to fear is doubt. The unknown. Of death, of change, or of love.

  5. it is a funny phenomenon being afraid. What makes people afraid? There are several people working on this very question in movies. The old joke is that many people think that people are becoming less afraid at the same things that older generations used to become afraid of. Could this be true? Has the constant bombardment of death scenes and horror in shows and movies contributed to a dull generation no longer afraid? I believe that in a movie aspect this may be true. Some people who have seen the same kind of scary movies that make them afraid are bound to get used to them after a while. But I believe real aspects of what make people afraid are still alive and well. The thought of dying, of course is probably the number 1 cause of fright. I would argue that more people have this fear now than ever. I think this because of the number of people that are not associated with a religion in this era. One way that the fright that is associated with dying was and is alleviated is because of a nice thought of a afterlife. If one believes that there is more to this life and the best is yet to come, then dying may be just another step to a person’s being. Because of the growth in atheism and agnosticism or other believe that is not associated with a religion around the world, the thought of having a much shorter “existence” could cause many more to be afraid. Being afraid is not a bad thing. It is just another emotion that after worked through can help a person grow. This reminds me of the shows that used to be on tv. The shows that forced the contestants to tell there biggest fear and then face it head to head. Although this was of course made just for tv, there was probably a lesson to be learned. Once you have conquered your biggest fear than maybe all other fears seem trivial. Imagine a life without fear. Without being afraid. Even the smallest fears like losing your job or being looked at in a bad way. Just imagine those fears being exstinguished. A new lease on life would follow. New confidence would spur and soar. With this fear gone of course some stupid things may occur.(tightroping walking without a saftey cable for the first time comes to mind as an example). But you would be able to experience so many new things. Every beautiful woman you would approach without fear. Many daunting obstacles would seem miniscule. All of the fearsome enemies would be put to the test. I wish I had the courage to live such a life of not being afraid.

  7. I see you walk down the hallway towards me, and my stomach suddenly feels it would be more at home in my throat. My fingers go hyperactive, twitching over each other and picking viciously at the skin around my cuticles. We pass, vague nod. I am not so much afraid as crestfallen.

  11. She stepped forward, her feet mere inches from the edge. The wind picked up around her and pushed her forward. She stayed precariously on the edge before stepping back, away from the danger of the fall. So close, but yet so far.

  12. And so I lay on the bottom bunk in the cabin, petrified, hopelessly afraid. I waited for what seemed like an eternity until I just couldn’t withstand the discomforting pressure in my bladder. So I fled the cabin, racing down the hill wearing my footie pajamas and wrapped in a Buzz Lightyear blanket.

  13. I am afraid of most things. Not a lot are physical like dogs or ghosts, but emotional things like rejection and being hated. Fear makes me anxious and anxiety makes me just want to quit. In a way fear is the best yet worst type of motivation.

  15. To be afraid doesn’t serve any purpose. What it can do is expose the things you should do instead of allowing fear to run you. The saying is be afraid and do it anyway.

  20. i thought i was going to get an intricate word like myriad or something of the sort. not something so stark. i’m afraid everyday. of losing the thing that is constantly on my mind, that surrounds everything i ever do. i don’t want to be a afraid but it’s haunting and deafening to be confronted with the thought of losing the one thing you want so badly in the world.

  25. Her heart’s in paralysis. Breathless, she can’t speak. Her mind whirls and heart taps a six-beat rhythm, uneven, unsteady, as her tongue sits heavy in her throat and her body turns to ice.

  35. Fear. It’s the most utterly captivating emotion. It has the ability to render a person unable to speak, to move, to comprehend and to make judgement. Am I afraid? Maybe. But that’s the thing about fear- it isn’t chosen. Therefore I must work through it until I conquer it.

  37. “Do not be afraid of who you are.. there are far better things to worry about.” The quote stared up at her face from the paper it was lying on, written in blue ink.
