Sometimes I think I let my fears rule my life, seeing as I have many more than the three I listed at the beginning. Of course I'm scared of snakes and if I see a spider I will squeal and run away, but I have some more serious fears. For example, I have never liked bridges. Something about them never seems sturdy enough for my 95 pound self to walk across. I have seen way too many videos of bridges collapsing and people dying because of them to NOT hyperventilate every time I'm over one. I even keep a hand on my seat belt buckle while I'm in the car over one. It's a bit of a problem.
Losing my family is even more devastating. I depend on my family for everything and I seriously cannot and refuse to think of a life without them. Just imagining living away from them in college is difficult, but what if I could never go home? What if "home" didn't exist, because they didn't? I honestly have no idea how I would go on.
Lastly, and probably the most unthinkable for me, is dying alone. I know, it sounds cheesy and probably stupid for a kid my age, but I just worry about this more than anything. Every member in my family has married at an extremely young age (grandma- 15, other grandma-18, mom and dad-20). I feel pressure in finding someone early on, because that's what everyone else in my family has done. So, being in a young family where everyone has a partner and is happy, I don't see an alternative to finding someone to share my life with. It scares me to think that might never happen to me.
