Saint Catherine of Siena:

"Be who you are and and you will set the world ablaze."

Welcome!

Hi! This is a blog about being yourself and doing what you want even when its different from what others do. A quote I have read is "Be who you are and you will set the world ablaze," - Saint Catherine of Siena. This blog is also about courage, being able to stand up to your friends as well as your enemies. With that thought I would like to give you one of my favorite quotes: "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends,"  - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (written by J.K. Rowling). Although, you don't have to be fearless to have courage. Nelson Mandela once said, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Sometimes it takes courage to find yourself. . .
