About This Quote

The idea of not knowing what you can do or who you really are is terrifying. For some, the idea of being nothing more than a piece of furniture while others are getting all the attention can be too much to bear. Perhaps it’s the fear that no one will ever love you, or that you’ll never be important or special enough. Perhaps it’s the fear that you won’t live up to your potential, or that you won’t be able to live up to another person’s expectations. The fear of being forgotten can be paralyzing.
