Brian K. VaughanThe world is a terrifying place, more than I ever realized. But if I had my whole life to do over again, that's literally the only thing I'd change. I'd stop being so afraid of other people.
About This Quote
Sometimes, the world is scary. And if you’ve grown up like I did, you can’t help but be afraid of it. But the fact of the matter is, the world is always changing. It was scary when I was younger; it’s scary now that I’m older; and it will continue to be scary as long as we live here.The thing I would change? I wouldn’t let myself become so afraid of other people.
Being afraid of others means that you’re letting them control your life. But being afraid of being controlled by them is what they want you to do. Don’t let them have their way!
