Afraid Quote by Lisa Ballantyne

“In life most things that frighten us are to do with our own heart and its flaws. You’ll always be afraid of some things—never free from fear itself. But that’s all right. Fear’s like pain, it’s there in your life to teach you about yourself.” quote by Lisa Ballantyne
