"Dear Griffin,
“For eight years, I’ve been afraid of the dark.
“For eight years, I’ve been afraid of letting go.
“For eight years, I’ve been afraid of being trapped.

“I wasn’t afraid of letting go, I was afraid to accept what was already gone.
“I wasn’t afraid of being trapped, I was afraid to be free.
“I wasn’t afraid of fire, I was afraid to be burned.
“I wasn’t afraid of trying, I was afraid of getting hurt.”
