Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
But I have stayed here. I could have ever known to be home. The four-walled bubble around me never quite felt like a home, but it has been nothing if not comfortable. I've spent most of my life confining myself to the only place I ever thought I could have any hope of belonging in my room focusing on the only person I thought I ever had any hope of knowing or trusting myself. It all would have been so much easier if fear hadn't been such a comfortable place to stay.
