Favorite Quote:
“Libraries were full of ideas–perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”

“No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass


Let go of your fears and just fly
Do not assume what you can’t know
After all, everybody dies

Abandon the persistent lie
Overcome what simmers below
Let go of your fears and just fly

Force the enemy to be shy
Obliterate unneeded woe
After all, everybody dies

Learn to look danger in the eye
Unflinching, put on a brave show
Let go of your fears and just fly

Let instinct drive you, don’t ask why
Jump off the cliff, ready, set, go
After all, everybody dies

Release your demons, say goodbye
Kill your Idols, they make you slow
Let go of your fears and just fly
After all, everybody dies
