Читать Fear factor - Антон Калинин

Now I think this topic is relevant for many teenagers and young people. I have almost no fear: but only thanks to logic, as well as a bit of cynicism and the realization that at 28 many things are less scary to start than at 15 or 20 years old. For example, getting a driver's license. Just as far as lived, a person looks at life with the least fear. Of course, I'm not that old yet, I come across many peers who want to fool around more than me.

Only at the age of 15 did I learn from a deployed ultrasound of the heart that I had two chords in my heart and congenital murmurs. Just don't worry, you told me: let's not call it a heart defect. And indeed, until the age of 15, I lived a very dangerous life: I did taekwondo for a short time, did yard parkour, rode a bike with my friends to cut a tram, but despite all the coolness, a circle of friends and a number of “respectable” chips at that time I had a feeling of fear that I always tried to hide. I did, continued to do and continue to do things that a person of "unlimited possibilities" can do.

In fact, until the age of 4, I was very kind, but two factors came into play: the harsh environment of the kindergarten and the congenital-acquired injury due to the negligence of obstetricians: I could either end up in a wheelchair or become hyper-creative. I won’t say that I was lucky, but I didn’t become a paraplegic and that makes me happy.
