Lets begin over

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." - To Kill A Mockingbird.

This is one of my favourite quotes. I read this book when I was very young and no other description of courage had seemed more apt to me. It would be a tad too much to say that it inspires me now. It used to when I was younger. I even managed to spend an entire night in my bedroom despite knowing there was a cockroach on the floor.

Having reached a cul-de-sac in terms of inspiration, I turn to my old muse once more. I need that exact kind of courage. A handful of not very interested companies, unrequited crush and non funded PhD positions can certainly sap out the best from you. The song for the mood is Coming Back to Life. A cliche, but what a beautiful one at that.
