More awesome observations:

"My mom told me once that when you're afraid of something, what you want more than anything else is to make it go away. You want your life back to the way it mwas before you found out that there was something to be afraid of. You want to build a high wall, and live your old life behind it.

But nothing ever stays the same. It's not your old life at all, but your new life with a wall around it.

Your choice is not about going back to the way things were.

Your choice is about either hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you."

====================================

"People say that when we grow up, we kick at everything we've been told. We rebel against the world our parents have worked so hard to bring us into; that part of growing up is kicking at the ties that bind.

But I don't think that's why we kick at all.

I think we kick when we find out that our parents don't know much more about the world than we do.

They don't have all the answers.

We rebel when we find out that they've been lying to us all along. That there isn't any Santa Claus at all."
