"To have the courage of one's convictions:
15 months ago
...to have the confidence to do or say what you think is right even when other people disagree.”
My beliefs and principles on some subjects differ quite a lot from those of the people around me. I’ve never been a conformist, and I have always questioned tradition for traditions’ sake. I don’t believe in limits, and I do believe that a lot of the things that people follow blindly need to be questioned.
I have found myself on many occasions backing down so as not to rock the boat, and compromising my principles out of fear or insecurity… and I always feel so, so disappointed in myself afterwards.
