Last year I tackled mental health with the hopes of shining a different light on the subject.

This year I decided to take on our worst fears and create 31 phobias.

I kinda like this one, because the eytes are actually on the persons body, hence, they are actually looking at anything but the person. It shows the irrationality of the fear (somewhat at least, I dont know much about it).

There was a church in my mom’s old neighborhood that would snatch people’s kids to secretly baptize them during non-religious events. Needless to say, I’ve never been to a church for anything other than a wedding or two.

Not afraid of churches, but certainly afraid of religious nuts.

I don't have a fear of churches, although when I was made to go o confession as a child, I was scared of that. I can see why some people would be scared of churches.

This is very interesting-I’ve never heard of this before. I’m not religious, but having grown up Catholic, church feels like home. I also love the ancient art and architecture in European churches. I can see if you were traumatized, for example, how you could have this.

I have Pseudo Tumor Celebi..... my brain/nerves, are slowly decorating over time, and they started to affect my speech and words months ago, I stay mute now cause if I try to talk it comes out mixed up or the words will be messed, I used to be able to sing, really good too.... it took that all way...... if I do talk, to like friends, there super careful not to point out how I miss my words, even typing I mess them, you can see how online that can be horrible to someone like that
