Favorite Quote:
The world changes and turns everyone into hypocrites.


Every person, at some point in their lives,
Has an ingrained fear of the unknown.
Some people are afraid of the dark
Because they don't know what hides behind the shadows.
Some people are afraid of heights
Because they don't know the depth of the fall.
We all want to take risks, make jumps
We all, none of us, want to fail or face the consequences
Because we don't know the extent.
Every person, at some point in their lives,
Has an ingrained fear of the unknown.
Some people are afraid of the dark;
Others, of heights
But me?
I'm afraid of dying.
I'm afraid of the graphic, compelling thoughts of how my life will end,
Unsure of the real deciding force.
But what scares me the most is living
Because I know that as long as I am alive,
There is a possibility that I could die...
