Fear is a powerful ally, but feed it too often, make it too strong, and it will turn on you.

❝ Emma had always thought of grief as a claw. The claw of a massive monster you couldn’t see, that reached down out of the sky and seized hold of you, punching out your breath, leaving only a pain you couldn’t wriggle away from or avoid.

Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

Miserable or not, it’s easier to stick with what’s familiar. Do you notice that, too? How all of us just want to get through life as quickly and as easily as possible? And even though we know that without risk there’s no reward, we’re still so scared to chance it? I learned a long time ago that you don’t need to reveal everything inside of you to the people around you. They like to judge, and I’m happier when they don’t. Some things stay hidden. Reap, reap, reap, you don’t even know, All you did suffer is what you did sow! Alone, Empty, Fraud, Shame, Fear, Close your eyes. There’s nothing to see out here. We’re all ugly, Ryen. The only difference is, some hide it and some wear it. It gets better, you are important, and you can't be replaced. Hang on. You'll find you're tribe. You don’t have to be afraid or embarrassed. No one does you better than you. You can’t be replaced. Not everyone will see that, but only you need to.” Life is fifty wrong turns down a bumpy road. All you can hope is that you end up somewhere nice.” The world isn’t always what’s right in front of you, you know? It’s below, it’s above, it’s out there somewhere. Every burn of every light inside every house I see when I look down from the rooftop has a story. Sometimes we just need to change our perspective. Speak your mind, and you give others permission to do the same.

“‘What do you mean, you don't feel real? Try and put it a different way for me-‘

-But there is no word to describe the feeling of disappearing and being there at the same time."

- Yrsa Daley-Ward, The Terrible: A Storyteller’s Memoir
