I have thought about this for awhile, and not quite sure what to write. This is what I have come up with.
1. I am afraid that while I am home alone at night, someone is going to break into my house and rape me.It is one of the main reasons I want to get my concealed weapons permit. I want to be able to defend myself. I don't think I ever really thought too much about it, until I took a RAD (Rape aggression defense) in college. Hearing the stories that happened to those women and men make me cringe.
2. I fear large open spaces. I know it sounds bizarre, but I remember going to Island Park when I was younger when Yellowstone had a fire going. What if the fire came to us and we had no way out. We were surrounded by trees that were all on fire, we can't out run that. I would think about it every time we went up to the cabin. I liked riding the mini bikes, but not in the woods. What if we got lost, and couldn't find our way back? What if we got chased by a bear or moose? It makes my heart pump just thinking about it. Yikes.
3. I have an irrational fear of getting a flat tire on the interstate and getting into a wreck. I'm not sure where this fear has come from, but I always check my tires before I drive anywhere. I would hate to be in the middle of Salt Lake and get a flat tire. Would someone let me over? I don't even know where my tire is located in my car, that could be a problem :) I do however know how to change a tire. I would rather help someone else, than try to change my own.
