The start of Fear A Day



This project ended up meaning so much to me that I have to share it….



Back in March of 2012, I participated in the first ever Delaware Fun-A-Day.  The experience was at times difficult, but ultimately inspiring.  So much so, that I decided to get more involved and join the committee of coordinators for the second annual Delaware Fun-A-Day that took place this past April.  Even though the planning the event took up a lot of time and energy, I still wanted to participate with my own project as well.  The year before I simply shot a polaroid everyday, but this time around I wanted to push myself a little further.  I thought a lot about fear and how I allow my fears to run my life.  There's so much I don't do or don't try, because I'm afraid of what will happen, of what people will be thinking of me.  The more I thought about all this, the more excited I got, and the more nauseous.  I knew I had my project, "Fear A Day".  I spent an entire month facing a fear every day.  I know some of my fears seem ridiculous or small or weird, but for me, they are legitimate.  And if I can't get past some of the smaller things, how can I expect to take on the larger ones?  I'll start here with the basis of my project and do a new post from it every day or couple of days until it's all out there, a fear in itself.
