About This Quote

When you start living under the shadow of somebody, you lose your own personality and your own passions. When you live in fear of something, you lose your individuality. You’re not yourself, but a pale reflection of that person. When you feel safe from the shadows, when the weights have been lifted off your shoulders, when there is no more pressure, you can discover who you really are. That’s what life is all about—being yourself.
