In the past, whenever I’m asked about my fears, I usually answer with the fear of tight spaces packed with lots of people. I think there were two roller coasters in the original Roller Coaster Tycoon game called Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia, which I believe are the correct terms in this case.
I’m not terrified of the two – I guess I just wouldn’t prefer it. But now that I think of it, most people probably don’t, either.
I think one of the greatest fears that I have is not of dying, but of dying before I’ve had the chance to make a substantial impact. What impact I don’t know, but I do know that whatever it is, I will know when I do it. Kind of roundabout, but there’s no other way to describe it.
I want to accomplish something great, something that will help others, something that will last. Of course, it’s not for me to say when and where I’ll go, and it’s my goal to live each and every day to its fullest. But there you go, one of my greatest fears.
