As long as I can remember, I've never not been afraid. Afraid of failure... of letting people down... hurting people... getting hurt. Before, if I kept my guard up and focused on other things, other people... if I couldn't even feel it, then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. Not only did I shut out the pain, I shut out everything- the good and the bad- until there was nothing.
