don't be scared

to be small and insignificant, for when you are at your worst, you learn the most.
when you feel lonely and cold, that's when you learn if there is anyone for you or not.
when you are in need, you will know who is willing to lend a hand.
when you smile, only a few people will know what your smile means: if it's for real, you're sad inside, you're being sarcastic or just melancholic and filled with memories of past times.
when you're well, you will know who do you feel the need to share it with. and you will see who loves you enough to be happy for your happiness.
when you're annoying, you will see who can stand you.
when you can do better, you will see who cares enough to let you know.
when you feel you've shut down, you'll see who can open up for you and let you inside their life without making you feel like walking on eggshells.
