I was reading up on James Baldwin who saw as his biggest demon the hatred his father instilled in him. Do you guys have demons too? I think mine is the fear of not being taken seriously. It has always been a part of my life, but until recently I was never able to identify it....

My fear of my abandonment is my demon. My mom committed suicide when I was 12 and although I've worked through a lot of emotions and pain this one emotion still haunts me and probably will for life to a certain degree. I think if I found the one and had a consistent relationship it would help to ease that a little bit but it's most important for me to work through this on my own and trust myself and have a solid foundation without having someone around. It's been beyond challenging though.

I am a control freak of myself. I do my best not to control the actions or behaviors of others but I have super control over myself. Its annoying. Its why Im scared/hate flying, prefer to be in the driver's seat, and have to know whats coming up so I can plan for it. The most recent spontaneous thing I did was flying to my boyfriend's place...but I had to make sure it would work out for moving and just couldnt go out and get a ticket.
