"But you know what is devastating? Living a life you don't really want because you never had the guts to live your truth. What I mean by "your truth" is what you know to be what you most want to do. The person or people you most want to love. The things that cut you open and ignite your nerves and can send you over the edge but you keep going back because you know, despite everything, that this is what's meant for you. If nothing else, the reason to do it is this: the truth inside you will win out eventually. Or it will drive you mad. Your truth isn't a passing thought or feeling that will just dissipate one day. You won't get over what's really meant for you. You will only ever become more and more aware that you're denying yourself the greatest joy in fear of the possibly greatest disappointment. I can't believe I'm throwing this quote in here, but I can't think of anything that sums it up better: "the brave may not live forever, but the cautious don't live at all." - Brianna Wiest
