There's a quiet violence in comfort, a gentle suffocation in playing it safe. We mistake politeness for wisdom, shyness for humility, when really we're just afraid of looking foolish in front of people who are also pretending they know what they're doing. Sometimes the thing we call "not good enough" is just the thing that hasn't been desperate enough to break its own skin. The burning comes not from certainty, but from the willingness to reach anyway.
