Just thinking about my fears gets me nervous. I know its the total cliche answer for a girl but one of my biggest fears is falling in love. I still haven't exactly pinpointed why but this fear sets me back in so many ways. I know that in a relationship I tend to be the more quiet one and if something bothers me I usually don't talk about it but instead I just become an introvert and my significant other cant help because they have no clue why I'm acting the way I am. Now that I'm thinking about it, because I'm afraid to fall in love, I guess I'm also afraid of being hurt. I know what it's like to be hurt in a relationship and because of that I don't think I've ever been the same. Call me crazy but it's the truth. I know that not all people are the same and the chances of that happening are slim, but theres still a chance in my head.
One of my favorite quotes in the whole entire world is by Babe Ruth, the baseball sensation. He once said "never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game". For some reason this quote just always related to everything I did in life. Cheerleading is a sport that you need to be fearless. Flipping upside down, being thrown 10 feet in the air and trusting someone will catch you are a few things that don't mix well with fear. So whether its cheerleading, or falling in love, fear is something that has always held me back. My college essay was all about this and how it relates to everyone. I feel that at some point every single person has let their fear stop them from doing something that they truly desired.
Fear is evil. It has basically become part of our unconscious mind. There are things in life that we would feel embarrassed by so we dont do it. Embarrassment is directly related to fear in my opinion. So moral of the story, LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. with no regrets, fears, or embarrassment.
