I know my family's adventures must scare a lot of you who have rarely or never been into the wild or are afraid of heights and exposure.
Balconies scare me, and I would never do a shoot on one. I am afraid of heights.
I am afraid of things which scare me. I am afraid of heights and too much love.
I'm afraid one thing - I don't like heights. Heights bug me out. I'm not cool with heights. I refuse to do a comedy show 12 stories up. I'm fearless about everything else.
I’m afraid of heights. Not unreasonably, but rationally afraid of heights. I think everyone is.
I'm afraid of heights. Not unreasonably, but rationally afraid of heights. I think everyone is.
A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
Bones,” I sighed. “Know something? I’m not afraid of you, but you scare me….” His outline blurred again. “You scare me, too, Kitten,” he might have replied, but I couldn’t be sure.
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; it’s a place for those who love God. You can scare people into coming to your church, you can scare people into trying to be good, you can scare people into giving money, you can even scare them into walking down an aisle and praying a certain prayer, but you cannot scare people into loving God. You just can’t do it.

I don't seem to have any real strategy or pattern when it comes to love... At times I've been really guarded and careful and afraid to trust someone. But other times, you want to jump in headfirst. I've had moments of thinking, this is who I love and I don't care what anyone says. Those moments are beautiful and wild and exciting, but I've learned that those moments can end up hurting you in the end. I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything.
I had a lot of friends in high school, but I was never the wild party girl. Never have been, never plan to be!
There's a myth on the Internet that I'm afraid of heights. I don't know where that came from, but it isn 't true.
It's interesting when you're doing signing sessions with other writers and you look at the queues at each table and you can see definite human types gathering there.... My queue is always full of, you know, wild-eyed sleazebags and people who stare at me very intensely, as if I have some particular message for them. As if I must know that they've been reading me, that this dyad or symbiosis of reader and writer has been so intense that I must somehow know about it.
I am afraid of heights and water, but I haven't been able to shake off my fear of cockroaches.
You know that expression, 'wild horses couldn't drag me away'? Well, let me tell you, that was obviously made by someone who's never been on the other side of a lead rope when a wild horse starts running.
