Day 10: Something You're Afraid Of

I hate spiders....not the tiny ones, just the big, black ones, and will shriek and run for the largest object I can find that will smoosh that little sucker. :-/

As I've gotten older, I've realized that I'm a bit claustrophobic and afraid of heights. I'm perfectly fine with elevators but if I ever get stuck in a cave, lord help me and whoever is by my side! As for the height fear, this just developed over the last 5 years or so. I used to love being up high, especially on rides at amusement parks. Now those rides completely freak me out. I think it all started when I rode the "Mouse Trap" at Hershey Park. It was awful and I have nothing more to say about that.

I'm also afraid of small airplanes. I will not step foot inside of one unless my life depends on it! I rode in one when I was a child, a 4-seater. It felt so flimsy in the air and ever since, I've had a big fear of crashing in one of them. I've known people who have, sadly, lost their lives in small plane crashes (6-seaters or smaller) and that has only solidified my fear.
