I'm afraid of water buffalos. Water and buffalos.

I'm afraid of wisks and the way they beat my pancake batter.

I'm afraid of Tupperware containers.

I'm afraid of doorknobs, especially the ones with locks. 

I'm afraid of recording studios. 

I'm afraid of office chairs and the way they spin around and around and around... 

I'm afraid of sitting on the floor.

I'm afraid of hoodies and the way they look like they could suck you up and you'd be gone forever. 

I am scared of the cracks in the sidewalk. 

I'm afraid of the little red berries on the bushes next to my front door. 

I'm afraid of my neighbors fence. 

I'm scared of earwax, mostly just Q-tips with ear wax on them. 

I am scared of shoe laces. 

I'm afraid of my hotel room door. 

I'm scared of people with too much eye makeup. 

I'm afraid of binder clips and all the stuff they hold together.

This is me not holding it together. 

Because truth is, I'm terrified.
