    You don’t need to be. I’m here.

  2. Bête de Jour comments:

    I am also scared. Maybe we should form some sort of club.

  3. Lore comments:

    *We* are scared.

  4. Your Wandering Mind comments:

    It’s best to confront your fears.

    Z: Best advice EVER. [Thank you.]

    Bête de Jour: Hello and welcome, Mr de Jour. I would form a club, but I am too scared to invite people to it. ;)

    Lore: Yes. Yes, we are.

    Your Wandering Mind: Contrary to conventional wisdom, some fears cannot actually be confronted, I’m afraid. (See what I did there? Fears? I’m afraid? Ha.)

    You managed to get through 4750 other truths before you got to that one! I’m impressed. I hit that at #1331 back in 1975. I’d tell you what to expect later but I imagine you’re scared enough as it is.

    today was another day full of dread
    but I never said I was afraid
    dread and fear should not be confused
    by dread I’m inspired, by fear I’m amused”

    Are you still scared?

    Jim: I don’t know. Maybe we should have a talk because I don’t really like surprises (unless they are wrapped nicely and tied with a bow). Also: I was procrastinating in the hopes that it would go away (it doesn’t).

    Dinos: I don’t know the song, but I do know I wasn’t referring to dread, nor was I amused. ;)

    Ben: Oh yes. Always.

    me too.

    Fear and Dread do not inspire or amuse me either… but I wish they did!

    That was just an excuse to quote from some fav music ;)

    But on a serious note, I know all too well the horrid feelings attached with being scared… so I hope you are feeling better.

    If it helps, if the fear is of certain people, always remember that everyone was a baby once, and went “goo goo gah gah” while dribbling baby food down their front, while wearing smelly nappies/diapers. That has helped me before ;P
