Day 55: A passage from a book that has touched you

"Of letting go and giving into it, and that's what makes us what we are. Risks. That's living, Remy. Being too scared to even try it - that's just a waste. I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don't regret things. Because at least I didn''t spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like"
 This passage is from the book This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen.

It has touched me because it felt like it was meant for me. Like the character in the novel saying this wasn't talking to Remy, instead was talking to me. It just went right in. When I read that passage, I was like, .............. Okay.

As you know, I am this type of person who is afraid at giving a shot almost everything. Although this has changed already, some part of me still remains afraid of things. I may not be afraid of trying out new things, but there are still those things that remain scary to me. My fear gets the better of me. That's why I need this passage. I think I need to read and reread it for a thousand times until it gets stuck in my head and heart. But of course it doesn't work that way.
