What am I afraid of and why?

Well...I leave for Florida on Thursday...and then I'm off to davidson on the 17th...my 18th bday actually. I'm afraid of leaving home again. Everytime I start a newyearabroad Ileave a bit of myself behind, and I lose part of my identity at home. When I come back, I will have changed and who knows if the piece I left behind will fit anymore? I'm afraid of not knowing who I am. I don't know what my expectationswill be in college. I'm terrified of being inadequate for school, for a significant other, for my parents and for myself. Wow...there is a long list of things that I am afraid of. But the one thing I have come to realize is that, despite the many forms that it takes, the only thing I am afraid of is the unknown. I can face fears that I am sure of but how do you face off against the unfamiliar and the obscured?

I feel like I'm in limbo at the moment, still in mid-air after leaping blindfolded off of a cliff. Where, how and when will I land?
