11 months agoWhen I was a kid, when you told your fears, it was greeted with responses like, "that’s silly, you’ll get over it. Now get up that ladder and paint that wall. "

That is interesting how it went away and came back. Putting me on a ladder almost paralyzes me. I have to block the world out and focus on breathing in order to finish the task I got up there to do. .
I’m terrified of heights. No one knows. I’m great at faking it.
My friends call this my “accent”.
