I was one of those kids who feared nothing. Also, I think I'm sort of insane band lack some sort of basic sense of self-preservation.

I also had a phase of climbing things.

One summer, I was spending a few days out of town. We went on this day trip with a friend of mine and my mom and grandma, I think.

My friend was maybe 14 and I was 12 I think. There was some sort of rock formation there, and we decided we were going to climb it. Without gear, obviously. We got quite high up. There were actually some people climbing up with gear on the other side.

At some point I recall jumping from rock to rock where it was a loooong way down. Also I got stuck between two rocks and thoughts: Oh dear, I'll be in so much trouble now.

I got unstuck with his help eventually, and we did climb down after that. We never told our parents the full extent of it.

It was sort of badass, but I also feel somewhat sorry for the people who raised me.

Gah! The jumping from rock to rock, while way up high, gives me the heebie jeebies just reading it. You are fearless! Which was probably a good thing. If you'd got a case of nerves, you'd have been much more likely to fall.

I'm not petrified of heights, but they make me anxious - but it's not the heights that I'm afraid of, it's the falling. I like hiking and climbing, and I'm fine with leaning over a precipice with a railing. But when I went to Toroweap Point at the Grand Canyon, a sheer 3000 ft drop, I got that horrible twisty feeling in my stomach, and I was afraid to get too close to the edge. I am fearful. :)

The funny thing is, it can change. I think that about 1,5 years after this I started to slowly suffer from anxiety - and stuff I'm scared of...changed. I remember climbing up a lookout tower once, and there were these metal stairs - the kind that are "open" and you can see down. And about halfway my brain went "nope" and suddenly I was in a panic. I forced myself to climb up nonetheless, but since then I'm not too thrilled about heights.

I miss being fearless - because really, in the grand total of things, I don't think fearing things makes you more "safe".

I know what you mean about the Grand Canyon - doesn't help I tripped and fell there (not way down, of course, of I wouldn't be typing this). But despite that, I thought it was absolutely glorious.
