“ Having friends was weird . . . but in a good way. ”
I imagined it was far better to be optimistic, to proceed assuming wherever you could that you had cared enough, that you'd made a difference, that you would again. Dwelling on the worst was no way to live.
~ Gwenda Bond
I didn't mind walking into danger on my own. Not the concept of it, anyway.
Courage doesn't mean never being afraid. We're all afraid sometimes. Bravery means doing the right thing anyway. That's true strength.
I didn't like showing weakness, not to anybody.
