BOO!
My biggest fear is definitely heights. When I was little I was not afraid of heights at all. I would climb rock walls, stand of the edge of cliffs, ski on the side of mountains do the rope course and do the huge swings at amusement parks. For around the past two years, I get so anxious around high peaks and the thought of falling. For example, last night I was walking through the arboretum and I noticed the ladder on the water tower that went all the way to the top. The thought of somebody climbing up that ladder made me super uncomfortable and scared. I would never be able to climb up that. High points scare me because I don't like the feeling of falling. It is like butterflies in your stomach and never ending weightlessness. Falling could potentially kill me and that is for sure not the peaceful way I would hope to die. While cliffs and being high up scare me, I will still participate in activities that include them because I realize that the slim chance of falling outweighs the benefits of the activity and I don't want to regret not doing something. For example, I love going to the gorge and reaching the top of the mountain and I will do rollercoasters because the laughs outweigh the fear once it is over.
