don't be afraid

Fighting the freezing wind (blowing against me as always). Woolen leg warmers over the knee and plenty of greasy cream on my face. Found this amazing quote:
"Don't be afraid of ignoring people's expectations of you. Don't be afraid of going fast and getting hurt. You can always wear black stockings to cover up the scars! You just have to forget what your parents thought you - stuff like being careful, looking good and catching the best man available." [not my parents].
