Untitled Fear

I must admit, I have two major fears in life, death, and being lost beneath the waves of obscurity. I believe that this fear of obscurity is related to me wanting to be a writer when I am older. I sometimes get the feeling that my writings will never achieve any recognition and I'll just be another writer who didn't make it. I guess this fear helps sometimes in driving me to scrutinize and improve my writing. I just want to leave something behind that I could be remembered by, something that would withstand the tests of time. Something to "live on" after I'm gone. Everyone wants that though, so as with everything these days, there is competition of avoiding obscurity. A competition of avoiding death.

"Never take life too seriously; after all, no one gets out of it alive."
