my whole life i've been telling myself
"don't be afraid."
and it is only now that i'm realizing how stupid that is. Don't be afraid. It's like saying
"don't move out of the way when someone punches you"
or
"don't flinch from the heat of the fire"
or
"don't blink."
it's not human.
i'm afraid and you're afraid and we're all always going to be afraid, because that's the point.
what i should be telling myself is
"be afraid. but do it anyways"
live anyways..
