What normal children feared: clowns, monsters, the dark, loud noises, etc

What I feared: growing up and getting addicted to drugs, growing up and living in poverty with no teeth and bugs crawling in my house, growing up and having horrible children like the ones on Maury, and falling asleep. No, not because I had nightmares. Because I was legit afraid of the act of slowly falling into unconsciousness.

I mean, what the fuck.
