Yep you have to live your life for you@Prynce basic thread got me thinking.
I don't know how to swim because of my Mom.
Her brother drowned when she was young so she always been on edge and we were never allowed near pools. My little brother learned from sneaking around with his friends.
I let my Moms fear paralyze me.
Don't let other people's fear paralyze you. Even if it is warranted.
