What It's Like Living With A Crippling Fear Of Bananas

Everyone is afraid of something. For most individuals, it's something along the lines of snakes, spiders, or heights. For me personally, it's bananas. The phobia is deep-seated and is one of the harsh realities of my life. Read on to understand what it's like to live with a crippling fear of such a well-liked food.

Bananas are terrifying.

And the fact that things like this exist only enhances your fear.


You have no idea where the fear came from.

It just appeared and you can't do anything about it.

People try to tell you that you're being irrational, but you know the truth. Bananas are the food of Satan.

Being afraid of such a common object it extremely challenging. You are always hiding from bananas wherever you go.

It is difficult to avoid something that most people love.

You become angry when people ruin foods by including bananas in them.

To you, this is a horror movie.

Your friends think its funny to put bananas in your vicinity and this is how you react.

I guess this means they aren't really your friends.

Get rid of those people.

You do not need that kind of negativity in your life.

You get nervous when people eat them near you.

You have cried before because someone threw one at you.

Slipping on a banana peel is your worst nightmare.


And there is no greater form of evil than those sadists in banana costumes.

Who is this man and why does he think this is fun?

But when you find someone else who also fears bananas. You love them immediately.

It is a bond you share that no one else will ever understand.

People tell you you're weird for having this strange phobia.

Just let them laugh.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
