Fear

if you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: you'll grow up. you'll lose your dependency on the grown-ups of the world, because you realise that there is no time, no age, at which fear suddenly fades and you become one of those impervious beings. you'll realise the difference bwtn success and failure isnt absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart desires no matter how scared you are.

finally, you'll realise that fear is the raw material from which courage is manufactured. without it, we wouldnt even know what it means to be brave. as you go forward, it will gradually transform into confidence and compassion.
