Growing up was an interesting time for me. I definately wasn't the most put-together kid around. I have a humor that is all my own and that frightens me. The only people in the world that truly understand my humor are my parents. They are my best friends and I can joke about anything with them. My biggest fear is losing them. They are my anchors to the ground and they are what I get out of bed for every morning.
I really can't say what I would do if I lost them. It would not be something that anyone would want to hear. They are my life and I can't even imagine living without them. If I had lost my parents, I don't think I would able to go on with my life. They mean that much to me.
If someone asked me what my biggest fear was, I would tell them that losing my parents was on top of my very short list. I am not afraid of things like heights or spiders or even death. I fear losing my parents. There isn't a lot that I can say about this particular fear, but it is one that keeps me up at night.

I lost three of my closest friends. One moved two hours away. The other moved 6 hours away. The last one moved four hours away. I still only keep in contact with one of them. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteI try not to think about this much, but a few weeks ago it came into my mind for some reason. I was very scared about it and I realized that without my parents life would be extremely difficult and I wouldn't be half the person I am today without them.
ReplyDeleteMy one and only true fear in my family/friends dying too. Like you said, I'm not scared of typical things like height, spiders, etc. The only thing that scares me to death is well...death. Not my own, but someone I love dying. I don't know how I could possible keep living either.
ReplyDeleteLike you, my humor frightens me as well. Maybe we should go buy some duct tape so we can deprive ourselves from saying any further insults.

IRATE!!!
This makes a lot of sense. I would agree that thinking about someone you love dying is a very frightening thought.
ReplyDeleteHey emma,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. My mom is one of my best friends as well and losing her would be devistating. I like the fact that you used this to be your fear, its not a very cliche one and that always gets people to think about your writing!
nice work

Hey
ReplyDeleteAww Emma that's sad! But I can definately relate... I used to have nightmares that my parents were going to die all the time and I'd wake up crying. The worst! But at least you're not afraid of a lot of other things :)
ReplyDeleteYour fear kinda reminds me of a fear I used to have. When I was little I had this insane fear that my mom would die when she left the house, like in a car crash or something, and I would never get to say goodbye. So I would get really scared every time she left!
