The main reason I am interested in spinning is because I have slowly been becoming more and more comfortable with flying (from just flying around to slowly progressing through stalls with slowly increasing intensity, etc). I have found that my general anxiety while flying has reduced drastically as I become more and more comfortable with the situations I am super worried about (spins in the pattern, stalls on takeoff, etc). Once I know I am completely confident in recognizing the signs of such a situation, and am completely confident in recovering from that situation, I don't worry about it at all compared to how it was when I started.

I am really happy with how far I've come, and I am just pushing on until I am actually comfortable with flying. I know that I will not feel comfortable flying until I can master all of the situations I am really concerned about, and can gain faith in the airplane's ability to handle those situations without some sort of structural failure.
