What scares me the most?

A lot of things scare me, I scare easily, from the smallest snake to the tallest height. I'm scared because there are a lot of things beyond my control and I'm afraid if anything happens, I won't be able to do anything about it but what scares me the most is the future as unpredictable as it is.

I'm terrified of what the future holds. I hate that it can be so unpredictable even when you plan so much. One little accident can put a pin in your plans. Sometimes, things just don't work out the way they should.

Death, as it relates to the future, scares me too, I don't know how many of my friends and family will be there till the end, I've lost many already and the uncertainty of who lives and who dies is crazy.

The future, full of endless possibilities can be so nice to look forward to but I'm scared of the times it might not be so rosy. Now that I think about it, I don't know if it's the fear of the future or it's the fear of uncertainty, you decide and let me know.

How do I cope with it

I pray, I learned that trusting God with things like this makes it easier for the mind so anytime I start to worry about things that might or might not happen in the future, I pray. It also helps to keep positive people around you who encourage and tell you everything's going to be alright.

Let's take a quick stop at the physical things I'm scared off, snakes, I fear them, I can't even touch one that's dead, they creep me out.

Bats; I think the movies I grew up watching caused this phobia. I saw bats as creatures of the night.

How do I cope with these?

I don't, I run anytime I see them. I remember the last time I saw a snake. The flash's speed is nothing compared to the way I ran out of that place. People have been telling me to overcome my fear but to do that, I have to go near a snake and God knows that's not happening.

I can live my life in a way I don't have to encounter any snake but there's the future and its uncertainty. Dear universe, you know I hate snakes, keep them away from me.

The thought of the future always comes with that fear of how it will look like.
I do believe that while we play our part, there's is always a tendency for a successful ending, we have to live with fear, it is a motivation to do more.
Thank you for this wonderful piece.

This was really funny to me..😂😂

People have been telling me to overcome my fear but to do that, I have to go near a snake and God knows that's not happening.

It's okay to fear what is unknown. But too much of something they say may not be good enough. So I will just add to it that you should try reduce your fears.

Hehe... Snake can be scary creatures. Better run, not everyone can deal with them😂

Thank you for sharing this with us.
