Fears. All of us have them. Every single one of us. Some of us have very similar fears, fears that many others will experience at the same time. Others have more unique, deeper fears, that may be harder to understand - or they may feel like they're harder to understand. 

What's your biggest fear?

I think I know what my biggest fear is. 

Of being forgotten. 

Seeming like I'm not that important in people's lives.

Feeling like I'm easily disposable of, even if it may seem like it couldn't be any farther from the truth.

My biggest fear I think, is being alone. Of not being important. It's something I fear on the regular basis, because my mind for some reason chooses to tell me, that it would be easy for people to turn their back and forget. To act as if I never existed, as they go on with their future lives. When you experience people treating you in such a way so often, so easily, it's easy to feel like you don't matter. 

Of course, everyone loses people, relationships, friendships... So perhaps I shouldn't act like it's such a big deal. I know the world doesn't revolve around me, and it shouldn't be all about me... But when you're ignored so often, when you're so often treated like the odd one out; the one who doesn't fit in, who just feels like a background person, it's easy to think that any person you meet could so easily forget about you in a matter of time.

I hate that this is my fear.

Because it's honestly such a burden.
