About This Quote

If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room. When I was little, I was frightened of the mosquito. I remember every time my mom would tell me, "Don't go out at night or there will be mosquitoes out there." It was scary to know that they were around and ready to bite me. Even though I knew this, I wanted to see them so bad.

But one day, while looking for them in the dark, I found something much bigger than me. They had my attention completely taken away from them and my fear of them. I realized that my biggest fear was being afraid of something that can't hurt me anymore.
