About This Quote
If you need a moment to yourself or a brief escape from the stresses of life, you may find solace in the things that make your heart race. When your heart is racing, it’s as if your brain is off and your body is on. It can be a wonderful feeling. But if such feelings become too much for you to handle, you may want to consider whether they really help you or simply create needless stress.
