on fear and age

i was doing the dishes tonight when i cut myself with a steak knife. this got me thinking about the things that used to scare me but don't anymore, and the inverse. here's some of the highlights:

i used to be scared of:

tornadoes

knives

aliens

matches

drugs

the marianas trench (deepest point on earth)

the sun enlarging and swallowing the earth

saying "i swear to god"

spilling something

now i'm scared of:

falling down steps

being average

being alone

wasting time

the amount of time i've wasted

plane crashes

i'm taking this list into therapy next week, because i think i'm having a mid-life crisis at the age of 26, and i think there's a drug for that. wish me luck.
