In 1957, 22-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis married 13-year-old Myra Gale Brown.

Elvis Presley, the biggest rock star in the world, was dating a 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, who would later become his wife.

The way a person perceives fear shapes their life, relationships, and legacy. From an early age, we are taught to view fear as a measure of danger. If something scares us, we are encouraged to stay away, while safe things attract us. Fear is presented as a mechanism to keep us secure, cautioning us against strangers, dangerous roads, large animals, unfamiliar situations, and risks.

Depressing Confession of the Day
I never had a romantic life at 41 and it’s making me bitter.
I struggled with that a lot in my twenties. It’s the period during which remaining alone while other folks mingled around was the hardest.
