Swiss My Chalet

What are you afraid of?
Abnomal/unusual fears are usually called phobias.
For example:
Triskaidekaphobia - Fear of Triscuits
Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks
Peladophobia- Fear of bald people
Levophobia, Dextrophobia- Fear of the left, right side of the body
Commitmentphobia- Fear of relationship commitment.
Wait, what? A fear of committing to someone isn't irrational or unusual! After watching everyone around you make up, break up, cheat, lie and manipulate the hell out of every single one of their relationships, it's hard to imagine not havign some kind of bias towards them, and a fear that you'll be the one getting hurt instead of the one holding the axe.

Which would you prefer: my finger on the trigger or me face down across your floor?
Fewer words have ever been more confusing or contemplated. Now I'm not saying that Taking Back Sunday, however wonderful and philosophical they are should be written up in the New England Journal of Everything That Should be Thinked About But really, which would you prefer?
To be the one who betrays, or the betrayed? Which hurts less, however long or short term?

Or maybe you're like me, with no conscience to speak of. I'm not exactly known for my high moral values, and my responsibility. I'm more widely known for being impulsive, reckless, and insensitive. So what happens when the people like me find someone who accepts them, flaws and all, and is willing do do something extreme to ensure the relationship works? Recently I've been doing some self exploration (har har har) and getting to know my other personalities, and I realized I'm lucky. Because only half of me is souless, and the other half of me would like nothing more than to go Fightclub on my ass and take out my other side.

As lovely as that sounds, and as peaceful it would be to be a single person, it's a bit impractical to take a gun, shoot myself in the head(at a bad angle, I may add) and hope that magically I become a single, happy and functioning member of society, and an all around good person. So instead, since there isn't a "Take This and go do Marvelous Things With Your Life"pill, I'm going to satisfy my one personality until I can confidently say I'm a good person- while he waits for me, since he wants me to be happy.y, we need to do something to put an end to poverty before it puts an end to us.
