Hi, I’m Cierra. And I have a fear of sudden loud noises you have to anticipate.
*Hiii Cierrraaaa….*
I have a problem, I know.
The struggle to fix stovetop popcorn, the desire to open a can of cresent rolls when I want some baked bread quick, the yearning dream to enjoy a party without always looking over my shoulder like I’m a drug dealer trying to scope out a narc…

I'm not so sure I'd call your fears irrational. An exploding balloon can startle anyone if it goes off right beside them. I've been at some wild children's parties 🥳 I can tell you.

Nope, rational is how I'd label your fears. Nice writing ✍️
