Write about fear

Well I was having writers block so I went to google and typed in "creative writing prompts". Soon my computer screen was filled with thousands upon millions of pages of these prompts! I clicked randomly on 1 site and found this prompt: "Write about fear", and since I need to continue my writing...HERE GOES!

Fear. When hearing this word images of any random scene begin to flow through peoples heads. Fear, just like all other emotions, is felt by everybody, regardless of anything. Fear is something that we try to avoid, although what we don't know is fear can be our best friend. Fear reminds us of the things we can lose, the things that we risk, the things that we wish to hold onto forever. Fear keeps us from thinking too highly of ourselves, keeps us from harm, keeps us connected to every single person in the world. And though fear is often wished to leave our system, it usually stays and is inevitable. Fear is...undenyably our friend and our worst enemy all wrapped in one. Fear will keep us from experiencing new things, makes us miss out on chances of a lifetime, keeps us from meeting interesting people. Fears can be gotten over, thrown to the side like garbage, but some fears will stay forever. Although there is no reason to fear anything in the world, it is human nature. Whats my biggest fear? Fear itself. I don't want to be afraidof the world. I don't want fear to hold me back from ANYTHING. Fear will get in the way of the most determined people, break the strongest wave, split the heaviest bolder.

  2. That is very good! (It is kinda like a poem) I agree, fear is probably the largest obstacle we have to overcome. Sometimes fear is the "fun" kind of fear, like riding a rollercoaster or skydiving, but that is a excited kind of fear. It is that other fear, that dreading fear, it feels awful and overwhelming, but it feels so good when we conquer the fear. I know that you have the courage to always confront and conquer fear...love you lots ;)
