Week 8 (August 10)

WORD: "FEARLESS"
Fearless:
Without fear (fear: extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power)

I actually have a story related to this word. It was a time when I experienced what it means to be fearless. Many years ago I was in my parents car driving at night in the suburbs or Rome. I was with a friend of mine and we were going nowhere. I remember my friend being upset for something but I can't recall the reason why. At some point we got kind of lost end we ended up in some secondary road, there were no buildings around but just a few small houses with big land around them. There were no street lights and I remember it being a dark night, probably no full moon and cloudy sky. So pretty dark. After a small discussion I convince my friend that we should make a u turn and go back to the city. The road was narrow so I had to enter into this private land to make a u turn and drive back where we came from. So I drive in and I start to maneuver, I could not see a thing. Then I hear this fucking dog barking like crazy, if there is a devil for dogs that dog was it. I could not see it but it sounded so pissed off. He was right there. So listen to this... my friend goes 'this fucking dog is driving me crazy', he OPENS the door and steps outside the car to face the dog. Well, I thought that was it. It was a long 20 seconds... I thought my friend was going to die first and then the dog would have came inside and fucking eat my face. Then I don't hear the dog anymore, my friend enters the car again and goes "let's go". He scared the dog away.


WORD: "RELIEF"
Relief:
Something that affords a diversion from monotony
