Our childish hearts could never fathom such words like courage. It has meant so little to our innocent ears. Courage could never entertain our childish whims. It’s not until we reach full maturity, when a word like courage takes hold of our character. Our entire being and definition of courage is then molded into something more meaningful. It becomes more than the monsters under our bed or the tower steel slide you’re afraid of. Courage becomes so much more once you experience it. At the tender

Conservative, full-of-shit pastors and horribly sweetened punch had kept Coley up to at least – ooooh! – midnight; when she got home there was schoolwork to finish and chores to do, until she was left with only three hours to sleep.
