Heights = Fear



This is soooo scary, I would never do this in my life, I'm so afraid of heights
why

I remember as a child  my dad would see a big hill coming up, and he would hit the gas so we would fly over and down as fast as we could go. For that brief wonderful second my stomach would fly up on the inside, and it was the most delicious feeling.

Once we were at the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado, and looking down I saw a swimming pool so small  it was just a dot. I told my dad that I could jump and the swimming pool would save me (I was young-- not stupid)

I'm not sure when my fear of heights began, but it did, and it's real, and I'm glad I live in very flat Texas! I have never gone higher than the 10th floor on a elevator, and even though I have flown and would fly again if given the chance, there is a lot of liquor involved!

The title of this blog should be why!!!!!


I understand that some heights are normal--like bridges,


beautiful scary bridge


again beautiful scary bridge!


or the top of high buildings!


Bird's eye view: The view looks like something out of a sci-fi film as the steel-grey landscape sprawls across the futuristic-looking city
wow



view from the empire state building


But why would anyone do this!


why


or this



why

or especially this;


probably a joke, but why!


Thank you for reading about my fears. Have a great day and please stay away from cliffs.
SIL (scary index level) = 10


A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
