It scares you because you see yourself in those words. You wonder what your inner self truly is and are afraid to see it because you are frightened there won't be anything there that is of value or worth. I suggest that when you go searching for your inner self, you have someone there whom you trust. That way, when you see the beauty of your soul you will have someone nearby to say, "Yes, dear, it's real. It's one of the things that drew me to you and made us friends." *smile*

*drat that clicking anyway*
