You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

for the record, i'm afraid of water - of swimming, of being on boats, of being at the beach if there are waves, of bathtubs even, when i'm feeling particularly vulnerable - i've been working at getting over it for some time now and, when in the right head space and with someone i trust, can manage that fear a little - i think it's getting better - i just keep trying to over come it - not sure it ever goes away, tho - you just learn how to deal with it better.

Do you know the genesis of that fear? If it's not too personal, that is.

i run into them headlong and i fake it till i make it. none of you will believe me when i say i used to be super shy and painfully introverted and still can be in some situations.

Quote by Loislane
I got over my fear of flying by flying.It was either fly or don't see my family. After a few 12 to16 hours flights I got over it. I still freak out a bit in turbulence but as long as the pilot gives a reason why I'm fine.

I do have fears of going down in a plane crash or being eaten by a shark... but it doesn't stop me from flying or going in the ocean. I think a lot of fears are pretty normal unless they are preventing you from doing something that you really want or need to do. My 'fear of heights' would prevent me from going bungee jumping and skydiving, but who cares? I don't think I'm missing out on anything by not having them on my bucket list.
I do have one irrational fear though... it's a fear of moths... don't ask me why, they just creep me out. I also find that they fly at me and when I run screaming from them, they seem to hunt me down. And no, I don't like butterflies either.![]()

Initially, de Havilland concentrated on single and two-seat biplanes, essentially continuing the DH line of aircraft built by Airco, but powered by de Havilland's own Gipsy engines. These included the Gipsy and Tiger Moths. These aircraft set many aviation records, many piloted by de Havilland himself. Amy Johnson flew solo from England to Australia in a Gipsy Moth in 1930.
What part of it scares you?
Quote by PixieWhat part of it scares you?
The whole entire process terrifies me! From the needles, to the drills to the little pointy objects that they place in your mouth. I called and made the appointment today, and my hands shook the whole time. Just from a phone call.

The De Havilland Gipsy Moth was an absolutely gorgeous, fantastic aeroplane. I took my sceen name after it, not after the insect.

Ahh I didn't know that... but yeah... the word "Moth" and "Plane" are scary combinations in my mind.
Reminds me of the movie Snakes on a Plane... for me, Moths on a Plane would have been WAY more terrifying!![]()
But don't worry, I have adjusted to your username. As long as you never change your avatar to a big furry-bodied beast with an alarming wingspan, we should be OK.![]()
