Backbone

Illegitimi non carborundum 

Latin for:

"Never let the bastards grind you down"

Backbone
There comes a time in your life when you have to put aside your funny bone and let your backbone shine. That doesn't mean that you must flex your muscle around just to prove a point. Finding your backbone means that you know what's right and what will work for you and you are going to finally go for it. It might be scary but what is it that you are really afraid of? Is it that you are finally finding your voice and making your way in the world based on your rules and nobody else's?  Well if that's the case then know you are headed in the right direction. It's time to live the life you have dreamed of. No apologies necessary.
