The first chapter of your life is for bringing your guards down and collecting all the L’s. It’s for spilling blood, breaking patterns, and running headfirst into walls just to see what breaks first… You’re not gonna tiptoe around it. No book, no quote, no wise man is gonna save you from the pain meant to shape you. You pay in time, pride, and sleep. You pay in trust and in people you shouldn’t have believed in. The longer you wait to take risks, the higher the price of hesitation...
