one of my biggest fears is spiders

that being said,

not all spiders are deadly

google says only 6 people a year die to a spider bite 

and then i kept reading and well

globally, about 5,000 people get bit by a spider every year

pretty unsettling huh?

 

and yaknow, all things considered,

that’s a pretty common fear for such low numbers. 

 

so why is it that when those 6 deaths from a spider bite turns to 1,200 deaths

when that 5,000 people turns to 232,000

is it so ridiculous to be afraid?

why is it when i say i’m scared to walk to get the mail i get told “well not all men”

 

but when there’s a spider on the floor if i scream and ask for help that’s perfectly fine i’m not getting told “not all spiders”

 

but no 

never mind 

i don’t know what i was thinking 

maybe i should have googled what those 1,200 deaths and those 232,000 victims were wearing before i get scared. 

 

maybe i should stop and think;

do i look like i’m asking for it?

is my lipgloss too red?

am i being too flirtatious?
