Bravery is not a small feat. To stand tall and announce to the world your hidden           it takes formidable inner strength. The very idea of taking it to the open           haunts and frightens you. To what end? If we succumb to the temptations of silence Jump toward the Siren song           we are finished. Why are we here if not for chance?           for chances are, chances are everything. Why do we persist if not for triumph?           risks are the surest paths to reward. If then, chance and change are gates to paradise, why Do we shy away? fear. Unjustified, unnecessary, indescribable           fear. Demolish it, and in the ashes of what was once a god-forsaken           wasteland You will discover                hope.
