Ever wondered why we say "fell" versus "had a fall"? A slip in my wet garden left a small gash and a bruised ego, and sent me tracing how language, injury risk and age shape fear of falling. I insist I fell. I unpack fear of edges versus fear of heights, a Brighton beating in the 1980s, therapy and flashbacks.

For those who ponder the delicate dance between language and vulnerability, this blog resonates deeply. It speaks to the introspective soul, navigating the nuances of fear and memory, all while finding meaning in the chaos of life’s little tumbles. Here, the journey of falling becomes a metaphor for confronting deeper truths, inviting you to explore the edges of your own experiences.
