If I see someone drowning in a river and I don't feel brave enough to save them, then I can fake the bravery, which means I will still jump in and save them...The outcome is still the same: the potential victim is rescued, and the coward is a hero. --Lucy Grealy, Autobiography of a Face
within the last ten minutes, i have sent both my first letter to the editor of our newspaper and an email, long overdue, to two professors, telling them why i have chosen not to study abroad next semester.
if this seems totally ridiculous to you, i understand. sometimes it does to me too, but i'm faking the bravery as well as i can today.
