Stand your ground as a mountain,
Be still to with stand pain,
Like Shannon L Adler I Believe,
That,
"Life always begins with one step outside your comfort zone"
Be Brave to the bone,
And begin your Journey,
With Self Confidence, Self Trust and Self Believe,
And you realise that Failure is nothing than just a Myth,
In Thomas Edison's words "I have not failed, I have just found 10 000 ways that won't work"

Hence I would never look down on myself because self expression matters.
Fear Nothing
Because (F.E.A.R means)

Face Everything And Rise,
That's how you become wise.
