Courage is…

When you’re afraid but you keep on moving anyway.

Such an honest piece of wisdom I’ve learned from an amazing song. Because that truly is the heart of courage; continuing your journey no matter how scared you are for what comes next. It’s being completely terrified to go into the unknown, and yet you go ahead anyway.

It’s the summer before my junior year and I’m already bored out of my mind.

I know I should be soaking up the sun and spending time with friends, but I work three jobs that keep me busy at least five days a week, and on my two days off I usually spend mowing or catching up on sleep. I’m paler then a ghost, which is to be expected as I live in the Northern part of the US, but still, I used to be able to be a light shade of brown. It’s pretty pathetic, but I’m completely looking forward to school starting. Actually, even my online classes that start midway through August will be a nice repreive from this constant drone of summer.

One exciting fact is that I’m going to my sister’s apartment tomorrow, and we’ll be going to not only the Dark Knight, but on numerous shopping trips over the three days that I’m there. It should be fun, since I need some new clothes and accessories, but as soon as I get back it’s back to work probably for the next three days straight.

Ugh. This summer couldn’t be over fast enough.
