I didn't start life as a scared little girl; that happened later. I put most of the blame on school, but a lot had to do with genes. Anyway, I've spent most of my life being too scared to do things that I wish now I had done.
My parents (mainly my mother) started me off in sunday school at a young age, and I spent my weekends at church until I went to college. I thought what I had been taught to believe was absolutely true, and I never questioned anything until I was middle-aged. I had doubts off and on but I always did my best not to dwell on them. I got fed up with organized religion long before that, but I never questioned my "beliefs" until several years ago. I was a scared little girl.
I believe now that if I hadn't been a scared little girl I would have rejected those "beliefs" at a very young age. I believe now that if I hadn't been a scared little girl I would have insisted on better guidance from my high school guidance counselor. I believe now that if I hadn't been a scared little girl I would have or may very well have led quite a different life.
