courage

My new flatmate, A, said something that really resonated with me tonight. It came from a cheesy card her mother had given her. Courage is working through the fear. It's so true. Sometimes you feel like you're the only one that experiences doubts. And you get consumed by your own fears, and let them paralyze you. But you have to just buck up, *glib* as that sounds, and work on through it. To have this talk with A, a grad student in another field, and a prospective law student, S, who keeps putting off the LSATs because of his own anxieties, was comforting. As was black sticky rice and coconut icecream after dinner (thai basil green beans with bell peppers and chicken in a chili sauce).

Emmmm.... and Google Image is one of my pastimes. Once again proving to be a sheer geyser of wisdom.
