To run from something is to give it far more power than it has to begin with.

Of course I'm apprehensive about opening my heart - I'm human.

I will always be proud of hands calloused with hard work and labors of love, but I will never be proud of a heart calloused with distrust, fear and doubt.

I was born to be the man that's not scared to bring up the controversial topic you think about but never say.

I was not born with a spirit of fear - therefore I shall not die with it.

I have just two-handedly, fully grasped the bare wire of the master cable at the largest power plant in human metaphor. Shocked? More like charged!
