You have to surround yourself with friends and loved ones because they're the only ones that will fight for you. It's always a battle to get the extra feeling in there, to push it further, to lose yourself. We can't be living constantly with some numb relationship.

To worry is to acknowledge that the world is unpredictable, and there is power in understanding one's own powerlessness at times. But too often worry takes on life of its own. Men are quite prone to this. They'll plague themselves with so many 'what if's and 'if only's that they soon forget to ponder the true possibilities before them. Which inevitably lead to poor decisions. Whatever happens will happen. Sometimes we have say over the future. Sometimes we don't. Either way, worrying alone never accomplishes anything.
