Were you ever scared?

[fadingdaylight]

Very strange. I was reading your post and had to look and see if I had typed that earlier. Did the exact same thing at 7 yrs. old and when I realized what it was I jumped so high I cleared my bicycle that was propped up on a kickstand. Was terrified ever since. Thankfully, I have that "face your fear" gene as well.

- Terrified of snakes? Well, just buy one and stick it in your house where you sleep. Done!
- Terrified of heights? Then just go skydiving. Done!
- Terrified of the water? Just learn how to scuba dive. Done!

Not sure if we're strong-minded or just crazy.

Given that I also thought 12 years of active duty and 4 trips to the middle east were good ideas also, I'm leaning towards crazy, but maybe it's a mix of both.

Edit - On a side note, I have decided to name my BP Sushi, after another fear recently faced and turned into a passion.
