It is the fear
of not having anyone to go home to at night,
being alone;
that is what keeps a person from achieving their true aspirations,
their dreams,
their personal legend…
It’s the nightmares that wake you from your slumber,
the monsters in the closet,
and the shadows of the night.
Fear,
it is the root of all obstacles,
because we must first face them to persevere.
You have to take into account that
great love and great achievements
involve great risk.
