Fear. If it weren’t so inherently scary, I think I find it amusing that while most people probably feel fear when confronted with something real, tangible, or at least, immediate, what I fear most is usually far ahead of me. Things I fear are what I don’t (yet) have, or might not have. It is because of this that in the midst of my greatest successes, I most fear possible failure.
I fear with unending zeal the demise of the nanotech industry.
I fear the purposeless death.
I most fear purposeless life.
I fear the death of faith.
I fear becoming lost.
I fear losing what I have.
I fear not finding what I don’t have.
It seems that so much stems from not understanding myself as I am.
I don’t understand how I’ve come this far.
I don’t understand why I’m blessed with what I have.
I don’t understand why I seem to have so much control over my life.
I don’t understand how a confused soul like me could ever influence that of another.
I don’t…
It also seems that what I’m most not-understanding are the things that everyone else must face. Haha—I really should stop being so confused of myself.
What can I say… I’m a scared li’l kid, just looking out to the unknown petabytes of the Internet for some guidance… perhaps I’m looking the wrong way?
Ashley!
you don’t understand how you could influence others? Alex…. even though I only knew you for like 6 months, you just being you influenced my life. you didn’t care that I was younger than you, you respected my opinion, and made me feel welcome.
blah! 😛
