"Fear Builds Walls"

The statement “Fear builds walls,” just so happens to significantly relate to my life. This statement means to me that having fears will hold you back from so much in life. Being fearful restricts one from being a part of whatever it may be that they are fearful of.  This statement basically describes the life of Kelsey Osucha. I am pretty much afraid of mostly everything slightly dangerous in life. I have a general fear of riding air planes, trains, and subways, because I am terribly worried that someone will try to blow up or harm people using these modes of transportation. This clearly affects my life and builds a major wall for me. Due to these fears I am unable to get anywhere unless it is in a car. This wall that is built holds me back from so much. I am also unable to actually live my life to the fullest. For example when my family traveled to Toronto for the Bills game, my parents wanted to park and then take a train that would drop us right off at the Rogers Center. However, we could not do this because if they made the decision to ride the train I told them I was not going to the game at all. Since I refused to ride the train, we were stuck in pretty heavy traffic getting out of the stadium. Incidents such as this happen often for me and I am not proud of it in any way. Being fearful of everything I do truly has a negative effect on the way I live my life, because of this I barely am able to at all. I do believe that the statement “Fear builds walls,” can truly hold people back from significant experiences.
