Write about a fear you have overcome.

Prompt response: I fear I have overcome is my phobia of insects also know as Entomophobia. I've had this phobia ever since I was a young child and it worsened when I began scouting and subsequently went camping almost every weekend. While I haven't fully overcome my fears it has lessened significantly, I have no fear of small bugs in any capacity and bugs that I know cant hurt me don't send me screaming anymore. The times where they still terrify me now are if they fly near me (especially if its around my head), if I know that it can hurt me (stinging, biting, disease, ect), and if its large (big roaches, beetles, hornets).
