About This Quote
"But a small part of him also knew that the reason he hadn’t ventured anywhere was because of the worry that the reality of the world wouldn’t match up to his dreams." The reality of the world is what keeps us safe. Bravery is needed to venture out into the real world, but it's also important to keep an eye on what's happening in our own backyard. We need to be honest with ourselves about what we can handle and protect our hearts from getting crushed.
