SUNNY SUNDAY

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.
