so im laying there in the mri thingy today and i started thinking. whne i was little i was afraid of very little i was fearless i would except and dare take on any challange. mt friend fabien and i had a tree house pretty high up in a tree the consited of a piece of plywook lated acroos two branches we wound jump on that thing and looking back i realize we could have easily killed ourselves. and there was a time i rode my friends bike that was way to big for mee down my street which was a hill and the brakes didnt work luckily my dad was out side our house and cought me but i dontremeber being too afraid then i used to dig up bugs i dont know why but i did noe any bugs freaks me out especially spiders. but why is that why did i have this fearlessness when i was young that now many things terrify me. i mean i would never now climp on top of the monkey bars and walk along the wooden beam. or grap the bar at the top of the giant metal slide flip over it then slide doen the slide.

I think everyone was more fearless as children, or at least more normal people. You didn't learn what to fear yet, you still had this curosity about life and didn't know how much it could hurt. Or maybe kids are just dumb. I know I had less fear as a kid, but I wasn't fearless. It wasn't until I experienced fear and pain that I learned to get used to it and as I got older I started to be less scared or things in general. I still fear physical pain sometimes and emotional pain too, but I think it is less than it was than when I was a child which is sad cause I'm still pretty much a wuss pretending not to be on occassion to trick people into not hurting me. It doesn't work though, most people have figured out by now how wimpy I really am. It's sad...
