Conquering my fear of birds. I keep telling everybody I’m cured, ETC. This is also one of the things I thank mom for. She tells me that if I’m too afraid, I shouldn’t go outside anymore. Harsh as this sounds, it’s good words of encouragement. Despite this, I’m still as afraid of them as I’ve always been. I can’t go around them and this fear even extends to seeing the word bird written on paper. Also, I can’t even see them on tv and forget about it if they are seen to attack people. One movie I will never watch is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The birds.” I obviously haven’t seen it but just by it’s title, it gets a 0 out of 10. How there can be a movie about them, much less where they attack people is beyond me. I know that watching this movie would give me a heart attack or worse. So try as I may, I will always be afraid of birds. Having said this, I love to eat chicken though.
