Way to die #396


A young man in Wisconsin sits at his desk thinking about how many ways to die there is. His brain then melts and pours through his nose.

Way to die #396. Brainwaved!!!


GP, I know how you feel. Well sort of. My sister almost drowned when she fell off her surfboard. She got whacked on the head and fell unconscious. Good thing a man was out surfing as far as she was. I was so scared when she came back up to the beach. I never liked the ocean at all. When I was 4 I realised something. It's where all the sea animals did their business. I actually started to get scared of it. Just the fact that if a rip pulled you out you basically have no chance of getting found. Still working on this fear. Just one bump in the journey we call life. LETS DO LIFE TOGETHER!!!

What if no one cared I was here?

Ah that sucks... Yeah, humans are such social creatures and demanding of value, that this fear is super common, and sometimes super destructive. Some can argue that this fear itself is the sure of almost all unhappiness. People almost never get over it. But, we can learn to live with it. =)

This is something that I have struggled with quite often over the short span of my life. That alongside failure and rejection tends to make one almost nonfunctional in society. However, once you come to accept that there are times when you will fail and be rejected and not have people care about you, you also come to know that there is an opposite of such things. Even if it is only for a short while, someone will care, you will succeed, and you'll be welcomed some place. Fears are interesting things. They can break us down, but at the same time they can build us up; though that seems to be in an odd, sort of roundabout way.
