mancalledtrueThe number seven is one of the things I love most, actually. But the seventh thing I fear...
#7: HEART ATTACKS
I was massively overweight throughout my school years. I was terrified, until the day of my 19th birthday, that when I was 18 I would, at some point, be struck with a sudden chest pain and then collapse, dead.
As I've warred with my weight, I've managed to drive off some of that fear, but I'm subject to intermittent chest pains. Mostly they're the result of simple muscle tension, but every time they strike, I stop and feel a cold chill in my stomach.
It's a sword hanging over my head, and it's never gone away.
