“You could live just a long time alone in your skin and change the locks on the door of your fears”

Simplified Meaning:

Living alone within yourself for a long time means becoming very comfortable with who you are and learning to deal with your inner worries by yourself. Imagine if you were scared of something; instead of running away, you took control and didn’t let that fear into your life anymore. It’s like changing the lock on your door so that fear can't enter your mind and bother you. Take, for example, someone who is afraid of public speaking. If this person spends time understanding their fear and gradually practices speaking in front of small groups, they slowly become more confident. By facing and managing their fear, it doesn't control them as it once did. This idea teaches us that taking time to understand our fears and working on them can make us stronger. We can lock out the negative and let positive energy take over. It's about self-empowerment and finding peace within ourselves, making us more confident and fearless in facing life's challenges.
