"I live in fear every day. Every time I get in my car, I worry if today will be the day I get pulled over for a traffic violation and not make it home. I'm scared to fall asleep on the subway; to walk in certain neighborhoods late at night; to have even so much as a beer if I'm driving...I'm always afraid."
Since the beginning of the year, we've been talking about specific fears and how to overcome them. The fear of heights, of birds, of failure, of success, of dogs...
But not all fears are formulaic and fall into a neat little box. Sometimes you're in a constant state of fear - it becomes the norm and it controls every faction of your life.
And when you live in fear that your life will be taken away for just existing, that's something for which I don't have an answer.
