" My life is a world of opposites. One instant I'm safe in my forge; the next I'm on the run for my life. One second I'm fine, and then I'm lost to despair and panic. I can't control any of it. And I hate that. I am more than my fears and weaknesses, but so much of the time, they're all I can think about. "
