I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent.
Yann Martel
I was anxious for so long, thinking I must please you, all of you say kind words and always take care A stranger in my own life, what good word did I offer my own tender self about the present or longed-for future? Fear, I knew too well, clinging to it, wrapping it around, but it is a fickle friend, I know now Life's less certain than I wish it Only looking back can I know true from false. But it is no opponent. I am welcome here.
