Only worrying about my Son

Other people in general

Our position and the state of the world

Outliving my money, I'm getting older all the time

Overwhelmingly my kids, kids have needs and they find it overwhelming at times to mitigate that. As a parent how do you keep your kids safe and expose them to life

People not recognizing truth (and that includes myself)

People, money and right now my dog. Also the future and the division within the country and all the possibility their is with that

Stupid things, everything other people worry about- money, time, sleep

Taking care of my wife and kids

That every ache and pain is cancer

The future, the earth sustaining itself. Afraid of what conditions future generations will have to deal with

The future. You don't know what it's going to be tomorrow or the next 5 years

The only thing I worry about is serious illness

The real world

The relationship between my wife and my mother

The safety of my family

The situation in the world. The future generations, I'm not worried about myself

The state of the world for future generations

The state of the world, my kids growing up in this world

The weight of time

The welfare of my kids (they're doing fine). You never quit worrying

The world not being able to see me for who I am. Not just "oh she's a girl" or "she's black"

The world nowadays

Things happening to my family in Puerto Rico

Things that I shouldn't worry about

This [question]

Unconditional love being damaged
