You know that to overcome fear you must first feel it in all its splendor, your breath in the back of your head. It’s not a nice feeling and you don’t like to feel it, but you know it’s fleeting and sooner or later it will disappear.

“Since I’ve been here, could you (?) Keep running. -Forrest Gump-
