Fortesa Latifi, from The Truth About Grief.

[marijaspoetryyy]

Maybe we're meant to be, or maybe I've painfully deluded myself to the point of no return.

[nothingspecialjustasoul]

It kills me inside when I think I have to act cold to protect myself knowing I'm the sweetest and clingiest soul you'd ever meet.

Do it scared is a great sentiment and all, but not all experiences you'll walk away from feel exciting, or thrilling. Sometimes, doing things scared is just scary and unenjoyable.

Do things when there's excitement or curiosity, more than fear of the experience itself. Do things because you want to, to have a go, experience new things, leave your comfort zone.

I can guarantee you, entering something scared will negatively impact your experience but doing something with curiosity will never take from your experience.
