Fear.

What fears do you have? And what have you done to conquer them?

I fear that I'll become as paranoid as my mother about life in general.

I don't know what made my mother into such a paranoid person, but she goes through life, thinking the worse, and worrying about the world as such. Hence why she installed these values into me and my sisters while we were growing up. We weren't allowed to go and play with our friends after school in case we were kidnapped, and I wasn't allowed to go out clubbing in case I was recruited as a triad (*groan* my mum thought Johnny was a triad as he had a perm and a mobile phone!)

I've tried not to think paint the world in such a dark colour, but in a tone more akin with hope that tomorrow brings more possibilities. I try to be as optimistic as possible about things, even when the world is collapsing around me.

Honestly, unless you've suddenly been told that you have a week left to live, nothing thrown at you is ever that bad.

Even marriage!!
