When the time comes to stand, will I stand?  Every now and then this question is posed and I almost always miss the oppurtunity to show my ability to stand up for what matters most: my friends and family.  It's like my desire to be carefree and avoid drama at all costs cripples me.  Fear disables my courage and makes it hard to be bold and speak up. I just wish the courage deep within me would rise up at the right moments.  I'm not trying to start a revolution or even fight for rights.  I just want my friends and family members to be confident in knowing I have their back.



“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.”  Norman Vincent Peale
