I refuse to live my life in fear. I want to enjoy the years I have left not worrying about the "what ifs?"

That does not mean I am a daredevil or that I take unneccesary risks, it just means that my own personal philosophy is to enjoy life to its fullest, and I think this can best be achieved by not living in fear.
I am beginning to "fear" reading TOTV because I am finding so many things to fear.
