About This Quote

If you have ever had the chance to lead your own life, you know that the world is a smarter place with you in charge. You can do things that people can’t, and it gives you a feeling of great power. However, that feeling is often accompanied by feelings of fear and insecurity. You’re not sure if your priorities are right or wrong, and even if they are, you’re not one hundred percent sure that everyone will like them.
