It does not matter where you were born or were raised, we all grew up under the constant surveillance and strong warning from authorities to not dare to do certain things: Don't jump! Don't run! Don't do this or don't do that, every time this phrase is pronounced, becomes a brick in this humongous wall of fear.
So, from now on, every single time you want to do something you've been dreaming about: Go to the gym, learning to skate, write that fucking book, ask her/him to marry, get divorced... ANYTHING! Just please, read this in your mind: GO AND DO THE FUCK YOU WANT.
