Everyone has fears. To overcome a fear, you should find out why are you afraid of this fear. After finding the reason, you should face it and try to do it. You will find everything is easier than you imagine, and you’ll become stronger . If facing the fear you get upset, you don’t have to overcome it. Keeping fears company is also a good choice.

Original

I’m afraid of ghosts and evil things but I believe they are do exist. I think modern science can’t explain these things and it didn’t happen on me but my friends has some experience. One of my friend, she – every April is a Chinese festival to celebrate past family members / ancestors, she went to the [graveyard] and she saw a little child, only she saw him, a little boy. She don’t know she just think it’s normal, maybe a child other people didn’t pay attention to, but few years later she is older than me and her cousin burned and grow up her nephew is similar to that child.

When I was young in primary school and high school I like Korean idols. AT that time computer is not very popular, many home maybe don’t have computer so I asked my father to bought a computer for me to watching and talking about other girls everyday, and when they came to SH I asked my father to buy a ticket for the concert – it was really expensive for me at that time, but I don’t feel regret, I think it’s a good experience.
