“Don’t let your insecurities overpower that which makes your soul come alive. Otherwise, you’ll walk this earth never feeling whole…and that’s no way to live.” Easier said than done, Dad. Frowning, he sighs. “What’s wrong?” “I didn’t know why that Phoenix guy was in my room when I woke up…but I think I get it now.” Appearing lost in deep thought, he expels another sigh. “I still don’t like him, but perhaps there’s some good in him after all.”
