I have mentioned this in a blog post before – I’m not scared of many things – not scared of lions or elephants in the bush, I’ve been free diving with sharks, I don’t mind spiders and creepy crawlies and I’m not scared of heights or flying etc. But two things that do terrify me are:
Snakes – those slimy, sly, sneaky and super dangerous creatures completely freak me out! it doesn’t matter how big or small, thin or fat, poisonous or not – I hate them! And if I see one, I will disappear in seconds – as far as I can possibly run in the opposite direction!
Death – unfortunately, I can’t out run this one. It is inevitable. But knowing that I am going to lose loved ones one day is heart breaking and devastating for me. I cannot bare to think of living life without them… I am also scared of dying myself – I am a Christian and I believe in Heaven but I struggle to grasp the concept of a place I haven’t seen or been to…
What is your biggest fear?
Don’t forget to join in ‘blogging every day in October’ with Taylor and Helene.
Oh my gosh, free diving with sharks?! My hubs really wants to do that… and so do I! But I really am terrified that they will all decide to eat me at the same time 😉 ha ha. Even though I know they don't actually eat (or want to eat) humans! It's such an irrational fear thanks to freakin' Shark Week!
I'm terrified of losing a loved one… I can't imagine the devastation. But I've also heard that dying is a really peaceful (for the most part) and spiritual experience. So if I could just die in my sleep, that would be great!
love your honesty caley! death is such a scary thing, and i totally agree it is hard to grasp a place we have not seen. but the crazy thing is that god promises us it perfect up there!
ps – i am so glad i found your blog. i think we have a mutual blog friend Sheila 🙂 and she pointed me in your direction and said you have a great heart. love reading your blog and learning about your family!
Love your post! I have always wanted to go swimming with great white sharks (in a cage, of course).
