Atychiphobia... the fear of failure. This fear has haunted me since I can remember, especially when it comes to academics.

(There are actually words and phrases written thoughout the shadows of the monster, though it's hard to see in this image. I don't quite remember what they all say, but I do know that they're either things I think to myself, things others say to me, and things that happen that have fed my feeling of failure over the past.)

Yeah, definitely had to look up what atychiphobia was. But this is cool!

I love the mixed media-ness, especially the red scribbles :D See, you're good at scribbling!

You have no choice but to change the world - you can't live in the world without changing it. It's just deciding what changes you'll make.

To be honest, that kinda scared me. Is that atychiphobia-phobia? xD

I like the color/texture.

Gosh!! I mean, it is SOoo marvelous of you to personify (if you are able to say it like that) your feelings, the ones from deep deep inside!! I hope I could do that!!

Whoa. It's creepy. The colors fit well and the whole spirit or whatever dwarving the person helps.

Definitions of failure vary... I fear death without having accomplished anything with my life. That's my version of failure.
