I wish I was braver. I'm scared of everything. Scared of being abandoned. Scared of being controlled or abused or betrayed. Scared of failure. Scared of not being good enough. Scared of losing people. Scared of snakes, scared of fire. Maybe I'm glad I'm the youngest after all. Everyone expects the oldest to know what to do all the time but they don't usually expect as much from the youngest. It's a blessing and a curse.
