Fear sucks. Because you never know when it will attack. Sometimes it sneaks up behind you, giggling like your best girlfriend from seventh grade. Then it whacks you on the back of the head, takes you straight to your knees before you realize what hit you. Other times you can see it coming, just a dot on the horizon, but you're like a canary in a cage. All you can do is hang in there and hope you don't get motion sickness and puke all over the newspapers. Jennifer Rardin
About This Quote

Fear sucks. It's a vague, vague thing. It's hard to pin down, but also impossible to ignore. Fear is something that most people live with every day, and most of us never know what it's like to be truly fearless.

We're all afraid of different things, and we're scared of different things for different reasons. We're afraid of disease, we're afraid of taxes, we're afraid of failure and we're afraid of losing something we love. The fact that fear can sneak up on you and hit you on the back of the head with a stick is what makes it so insidious.
