Sometimes Fears can be more broad concepts such as Fear of Getting Sick, or something like Fear of Heights. It’s not necessarily a particular illness one might be afraid of or specifically climbing to the top of an abandoned radio tower only for its ladder to fall off leaving you stranded hundreds of feet in […]
