My fear... is my substance, and probably the best part of me

Summary

This quote suggests that fear plays a fundamental role in the speaker's identity and existence. It implies that fear is not something to be ignored or dismissed but rather an essential component of their personality. By presenting fear as their "substance," the quote suggests that fear has shaped and defined the speaker's character, perhaps indicating that it has motivated them or influenced their choices. Additionally, the mention of fear being the "best part" of the speaker hints that it has served as a source of strength or resilience.
