When I was younger I was afraid of storms. I was like a dog whenever it started to thunder outside. I would freak out and sometimes even cry. I was afraid that there would be such a severe storm that my house would get destroyed or something. I'm still not entirely sure why I was always so scared, but every time lighting would strike and the thunder would crash my heart would skip a beat. Ironically enough, I love storms now. I really enjoy sitting outside on the porch when it is storming and just watch it. It always feels nice and cool when it storms and I love the smell. When I was young you could not catch me dead outside during a storm. If it was nigh time I would not even go to bed until the storm was over. If I woke up in the middle of the night and it was storming I would stay awake until it was done. I'm glad that I no loner have that phobia because it was very stressful on my young mind.

My personal paradise would be a world  where time did not progress. I would forever stay the age I am and be able to do whatever I want for however long I want. For example, if I wanted to binge watch the entire series of The Office, I could do that. I could hang out with my friends and not have to worry about when I should get home to sleep. I would not have to worry about deadlines and most responsibilities. I could just kick back and relax forever. Walk around the world? I could do that. Would not have to worry about anything, it would be very nice.
