"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."
----Thomas Paine
I wish I could scratch these words into my skin, into my very soul in a way that would make them feel more tangible than they do. I try to walk in these words. I feel as though, in a time where finding MEANINGFUL, lucrative work is difficult; when finding work I want to do is difficult, and not knowing who I am and feeling as though I have no guarantee of how things are going to work out, I walk in these words. I feel them and they propel me into faith. They make me feel more vindicated; this is a hard time, and it is hard to stand tall in such a time. And for those who do it, they accomplish something quite special.
