Assignment 8-Sara Ueland

Fears: losing a loved one, not knowing what to do in life
Annoyances: loud chewing, gulping, breathing, cockiness, selfishness, offensiveness
Accomplishments: not killing my twin yet, being related to Thomas Ueland
Confusions: feelings, worthiness, confidence
Sorrows: eating habits, stress relief habits
Dreams: live on the beach, become a gypsy
Idiosyncrasies: sarcasm, weirdness, annoying laugh 
Risks: shutting everyone out of my life, vulnerability
Beloved Possessions, Now and Then: then-my blanket now-shells
Problems: dealing with anger and emotion in a conventional way

Taking risks is a vital part of human life. But when do we cross the line? How are we supposed to know if our choices are for the best or if they will lead us to our doom? One problem that plagues me on an everyday basis is my fear of invulnerability and not letting people into my life. It sounds much better to avoid suffering and emotions by not letting yourself get involved, right? In doing this, I am setting myself up for failure and my own eventual doom. My fear of taking risks or being vulnerable leaves me in a confused and fragile state a majority of the time.

Many have told me to put myself out there and explore the unfamiliar. That is easier said than done my friend. In the coming years I hope to break from my bubble and explore the feeling of vulnerability.
