"I think fear can feel like riding an escalator. Once we get on, it’s hard to stop. It’s hard to control."

This is a very familiar feeling to me. I've gotten better at dealing with fear in more recent years, but it's not easy. And yes, I was always afraid escalators would swallow me up as a kid, too!

"Maybe I’m afraid of pain. Maybe I’m afraid of unknowns. Maybe I don’t want to fall on my face and embarrass myself."

YES. All the above. I'm not so scared of escalators anymore.........but my heart still does tremor a bit.
