Being afraid makes me tired. Really, truly, bone dead weary.
Generally I’m only afraid of things I don’t understand. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that fall into that category.
Taxes are one of those items. The more I read, the less I understand. A day dealing with them is an almost certain migraine. Even when I know I’m going through the process correctly, I can’t help but be afraid. It’s not rational, any more than a fear of the dark is rational.
It’s fear of the unknown.
