A Story About My Cowardliness.

[jolly_oddness]

About one month ago, I stayed up late drinking tea and wine with two of my postgrad friends. We talked about everything and made plans to visit many places - the botanical gardens, the cemetery, the park, the city. After a while we were all weary and conscious of the fact that it was well past midnight and thus made a decision to go to bed. As we

But you overcame your cowardliness! That takes courage. Pure chance you also took someone who would not fit.

I'm quite sure that could be arranged.

You don't sound spineless to me at all. Yeah you were nervous, but you did it! That's a whole lot braver than not being nervous and doing it.

Cemeteries can be so fun. I remember reading a book as a kid where once of the characters had the strange hobby of taking charcoal impressions of all the gravestones. When I first read it I thought it sounded like the coolest hobby ever. I still kinda want to do it someday.

I think I read that story, too, when I was young! It ended scarily, if I recall correctly.

I was nervous. I guess I was annoyed about me being so nervous. I wish I had taken those few short moments to enjoy the place instead. Hopefully I'll get another go.
