Role Model

The young man struggled with whether to cheat or not to solve a problem. He wanted a role model as a youth but none materialized, so he had to embrace those he didn't want to emulate. Don't be afraid of unknown things, take time to understand them before labeling them as scary. A woman was frozen with fear, not knowing what to do about something hiding under her bed. An old chair in the corner had someone sitting in it after many years of being empty. A woman's mismatched socks were her small act of rebellion, while the rest of her appeared perfect.

Role model

At that moment he had a thought that he'd never imagine he'd consider. "I could just cheat," he thought,
"and that would solve the problem." He tried to move on from the thought but it was persistent. It didn't
want to go away and, if he was honest with himself, he didn't want it to.

The young man wanted a role model. He looked long and hard in his youth, but that role model never
materialized. His only choice was to embrace all the people in his life he didn't want to be like.

Don't be scared. The things out there that are unknown aren't scary in themselves. They are just unknown
at the moment. Take the time to know them before you list them as scary. Then the world will be a much
less scary place for you.

It was that terrifying feeling you have as you tightly hold the covers over you with the knowledge that
there is something hiding under your bed. You want to look, but you don't at the same time. You're frozen
with fear and unable to act. That's where she found herself and she didn't know what to do next

The chair sat in the corner where it had been for over 25 years. The only difference was there was
someone actually sitting in it. How long had it been since someone had done that? Ten years or more he
imagined. Yet there was no denying the presence in the chair now.

It was easy to spot her. All you needed to do was look at her socks. They were never a matching pair. One
would be green while the other would be blue. One would reach her knee while the other barely touched
her ankle. Every other part of her was perfect, but never the socks. They were her micro act of rebellion.
