"You know that feeling when you’re in class, and you want to raise your hand to disagree? To add to the discussion, that nervous energy that prevents you from raising your hand and hearing your own voice, the one that makes your heart race, that nervous energy wins when you keep your hand safely on the desk and miss the opportunity to add your two cents. And that’s what failure feels like. That’s the feeling of you giving up a little more of your life."
— Christopher Gutierrez. (via bettermistakes) (via fromunderthecorktree)
