Go-Go Trance

Just because- I like this song. If anything, be true to who you are. That probably sounds like some pop-psychology feel-good quick fix, but it runs a little deeper than that. First, you need to learn who you are, find out what you are in the dark. Is there a way to do this without pain? In my case, guess not. What you are is what is left when everything else is ripped away. But then, when that happens- it hurt, but was it anything you couldn't live without? Would I still be here if it was? This stems from something in the Necronomicon (the modern version by Donald Tyson, in case clarification is needed).

Turn not your mind from night fears, but embrace them as a lover. Let terror possess your body and course through your veins with its heady intoxication to steal your judgement, your very reason. In the madness of the night, all sounds become articulate. A man sure of himself, confident in his strength, aware of his rightful place, remains forever ignorant. ...Abandon hope and you shall become free, and with freedom acquire emptiness.

In other words, what are you really afraid of? It's not so much going insane from fear- rather, it's finding what really matters in life. There are those things worth fighting for.
