Tears and fears of a timid traveler

Fear can always be overcome. It’s just like taking a rollercoaster ride, where the beginning is always the worst. You’re standing in the line, queuing and waiting for your turn, your stomach is churning and you think you need to pee. When you’re finally getting on the coaster, you’re thinking, ‘Well, this is it then’. And off you go. You don’t get to think so much when you’re actually on the coaster. It’s just the awful thoughts that you have before you get on it that almost stops you. It’s the thinking. All the thinking. Too much thinking. Because after the ride, you come back in one piece at the platform, and you’re exhilarated. You’ve conquered your fears, you’re unstoppable. You take the ride again.
