[x] becoming blind - Me being an artist, this would probably destroy my happiness completely, seeing as I draw 24/7...
[x] becoming deaf - And also being a singer/musician who loves music, this would kill me emotionally...
[x] growing up - This is a major fear of mine. My childish behaviour and joyful look on life, is me trying to keep a firm hold on my childhood, so that I can age, but still keep that flare of happiness and eyes that can still see the magic around me. To lose all of that scares me so much. I don't want to leave the safe threshold of my family's embrace. And I know how I'll realise I've grown up; when I can no longer feel the magic of Christmas.
[x] creepy noises in the night - Noises, without knowledge of their source, is frightening because it literally could be anything...

If you get 30 or more, counselling is strongly recommended.
If you get 21-29, you're paranoid.
If you get 11-20, you are normal.
If you get 0-10, you're fearless - Well, I do consider myself as rather brave. After all, it comes with the confidence and ego.
