@Dan193 It's okay to be scared. Anyone who's gonna tell you that being scared is not manly is lying their ass off.

We've all been scared at some point. I was scared when I was 21 after watching 3 people die in my family. I was scared when I had to resign my job because I had the uncertainty of getting a better one again. I was scared to get into a relationship. I was scared to get dumped and I was scared to be alone after being dumped.

My point is. Life is scary. People are scary. All of us are scared. We can choose to succumb to pain or choose to fight it and make it through the next day.

I struggle with depression, anxiety attacks, panic attacks and suicidal urges. Yet I'm here alive because I'm fighting it. I'm scared but I won't succumb to the fear and the pain.
