I am afraid of many things.

I'm sure we all are from time to time.

But much like the first time I decided to quit taking no for an answer, this decision I've just made to spit in the face of terror is more terrifying than any hesitations I've ever had in the past - and will be the beginning of a stage of evolutionary growth.

It will be painful.
I am not ready.
But I will make myself learn readiness.

And so goes the story of the foundling heart finally afire.
