  17. I fear being lonely, not taking risks, and what I fear the most I guess is realizing in ten years that I've made a huge mistake and don't like the place I'm in, the people I've surrounded myself with, or who I've let myself become.

  22. Ever since I was a child, it's always been death. I could stay up all night and never sleep a wink if I keep thinking about it. It was crippling as a kiddie. I remember being in grade 3 and just sitting in my bed thinking about dying. I still am not comfortable with it. It's one thing I wish I could get over.
