We often feel that the things we fear the most
always have the most power over us.
If we are afraid that something
will come and hurt us,
then we are giving it the ability
to do so.
The thing we forget
is that these things never had that power
in the first place.
Nothing can ever really hurt us
or change us
unless we, ourselves,
grant it the power
to do so.
Nothing outside of us
can ever change us
unless we leave ourselves.
So stay.
