The Story of Awkward

by R.K. Ryals

“Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.” ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~

“This world is built on awkwardness, on the idea that there is someplace where it’s okay to be different. Where it’s okay not to be perfect,”

Remember, the way we perceive ourselves is often nothing like what we really are,”

It was what bullies did … they harassed and goaded those weaker than themselves, but ran in fear when faced with true danger. True courage belonged to the weak.

“That awkward moment when you realize running away from life doesn’t mean life won’t pack its bags and follow.”

the true test isn’t what we have the courage to fight. It’s what we have the courage to admit. True courage is admitting when you’re vulnerable.
