This is not a bundle, but my 1st train! And a celebration of my 1k Steam game library and hitting level 6! :D and a celebration of the wonderful YOU!

Ironically, my 1000th Game turned out to be Barbie™ Dreamhouse Party™ ... Thanks student123 for making my dreams come true! <3

Skip to bottom of OP for TLDR and chart VVVV Please give me time to respond to all of your comments. I am replying to comments here first, and afterward the train ends, the comments on the cars <3

Well, I hope I fooled you! :) You probably know me from all those bundle threads ...But, I have been wanting to do a train for a while and haven’t gotten around to making one since my academics and essays/studying keep me occupied and up all hours of the day.

Plus, keeping up with all those pretty bundles and managing my group, Bundle Addicts Anonymous is a lot of fun and keeps me busy :D

Anyways, I thought about what kind of theme to make this. I thought of courage because it’s one of the components that keeps me going every day. I wake up in the morning and sometimes don’t feel prepared to tackle the challenges of the world. There are some days where I will sit at my desk or at home and cry because of a hardship. I think it take courage to even begin your day because you will never know what will happen.

There’s a saying by Shel Silverstein that goes

“The Voice
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you--just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”

I think a big struggle for me is to do what I feel is right and not conform to the desires of others, or what they think is right for me. I grew up wanting to please everyone, to always be perfect and do what is “right.” When I made decisions, it would always be according to what I thought my friends wanted, what would please my parents the most, what would make people happy, what I could do to avoid being “wrong”. I never thought about myself and my happiness in that complicated equation of decision-making.

When I think of an example of courage, I think about the time when I turned 19. I had always wanted a nose piercing, but was afraid to get one because a) my parents would disapprove of it b) my employers and peers might think of me differently c) the medical/health profession discourages having bodily accessories except earrings (ie: tattoos, piercings, etc.) d) fear that I would be judged by society due to the stigma against piercings.

I have always been a quiet, obedient, and simple person as well, so to get something that didn't seem "me" would be shocking to others, or so I thought. But then again, isn't it ME who gets to define who I am and project an image that I want? I thought about this concept for a while. I spoke to my employers, friends, and family to see what they thought. Finally, I decided that on my 19th birthday (which was 1.5 years ago), I would do what I wanted instead of what others wanted me to do. I wanted to break free of my shell and embrace something that would make me happy and feel unique.

The piercing itself didn’t hurt at all. It’s basically a very small nose stud that is barely noticeable unless you get close enough to see it. What was a big pain for me was the after-care because it kept on swelling up and sometimes would come out if I was not careful enough. Nevertheless, I took care of it, and I’ve had my piercing for over 1.5 years now :) My mom was the only one who objected to it… (Mom: WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME ;_;), but everyone else has been very supportive of me. I’m happy I had the courage to make this decision because it’s one of the things that I am truly proud of, amongst the many other great accomplishments I have had so far in the 20 years of my life.

In case you can't tell from my avatar or are that "Need pics or it never happened!" kind of person, here is me!

Anyways, I apologize for the word vomit >_>. I meant to make this post a celebratory one, not a boring/wordy/eye-sore discussion about my life experience and cheesiness.

If you would like to respond, I don’t mind if you just bump the thread, say thank you, or tell me about something that you’ve done in your life that YOU think is courageous. If someone else says what you do isn’t courageous, so what? What you believe is what you believe and feel, not what someone else tells you.

I realize that courage might mean something different to people around the world, so I guess I’ll put this definition of courage up, and you can interpret it however you want:

courage:

(also called bravery and bravado) is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain,danger, uncertainty or intimidation. Physical courage is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, death or threat of death, while moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement, or personal loss.
