Fear

Fear isn't always a bad thing. Makes you feel alive.

One of my biggest fears is when I'm playing poker and I ain't got jack shit, but I go all in a big pot. Then the other guy or guys are looking at me trying to figure if I'm bluffing. I'm trying to look calm and cool but really I'm shitting bricks.

But when they finally fold its the best feeling ever cuz you cant help thinking ahahahahh sucker!

Probably the scariest moment of my life is when I spun out on a race track at 170 km/h and it was basically up to everyone else on the track to go around with crashing into me. I was so scared my hands were shaking after, but it was fucking awesome. Forget rollercoasters. Race tracks are where the fun's at. Roller coasters, you're just a passenger. Race tracks, your life is in your own hands.


Fear keeps me from really wanting things, the kind of things you put your whole heart into.
Wow. You figured out how to say it so succinctly. I've just been realizing lately, having given up my job, that I don't really want anything. And I think it's because I'm afraid the things I want are unobtainable, so why bother wanting them if I'm just going to be disappointed.

It's probably not a good way to live, but yeah, I've found myself disappointed a lot and it makes me terrified to want things.

For example, I'm working on a BA right now and then I'd like to go to grad school, and I'm just fucking terrified that I'm not even going to make it out with an undergrad degree. I'm so scared to really want it because I'm worried if I do, I'll find a way to fuck it up and disappoint myself and everyone around me.

Aw come on Kestra, dont put so much pressure on yourself like that. It's just a BA, not life and death. You fail a couple courses, big deal. You just repeat them. Worse comes to worse, you can go to another school, a different program.

But if you have ambitions for grad school, you're probably not a dumb ass. I'm sure you'll do fine getting your BA. Don't worry about dissapointing other ppl. fuck what other ppl think. just do the best you can and whatever happens, happens.

Besides, if all else fails you can still sell weed and make just as much money as those grad school ppl :lol:
