Fear is a liar

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

Ever since I fell 2 stories, and broke my back, I am terrified of heights. I literally get shaky legs, heart racing, instantly get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Fear sits in my stomach looking at this photo

I can’t even watch other people do heights, of any kind, without feeling the ill effects of this imagery.

Fear is such a liar, sometimes, isn’t it? I mean, prior to my fall I never gave heights a second thought. Unless, I take a step off of a cliff, heights are not going to take me down. My mind just doesn’t process heights that way when confronted with it. Fear may be a liar but I get sucked into its toxic vacuum every time.

Maybe one day I’ll conquer this fear. However, today, is not that day.
