☆My Worst Fear

I don't believe fear exists. I believe we have a strong dislike for something, yet that's it. But fear is something made up. I'm just going to call it a "fear" because it's easier that way.

Anyway, here it is.

I am afraid of growing up.

Now, I don't have that many other fears. But this one is the one I fear the most.

This does not mean growing older and dying someday. That is your physical self, which I have no problem with.

But your mental state. Life will only continue getting harder, and harder, and harder, until the very end. I'm afraid of all the hardships and all the trama I'm going to have to go through in life.

But what I'm most afraid of is losing the child in me. I'm afraid the small boy in me will leave, and I'll grow up to be mature and live an common life, with a common job, with a common house.

I like to call this the 'Peter Pan effect'.

~Where you're too afraid to grow up and you wish upon a star that you will stay a kid forever.~
