got high and had some thoughts about fears i'm pretty baked so this may or may not make sense.  fears seem to only bother me when i avoid them.  when i think about the fear i can usually figure out if i need to be worried or not.  if i am worried i can do something about it instead of avoiding it.  i like this quote by Mark Twain: 

# “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”
