die on your feet

dignity is the one thing you have that nobody can ever take away from you without your consent.
no matter what life throws at you, no matter how difficult things become, there's never any need to crawl, to beg for it to stop, unless you so choose.
once you do, though, can you really retain as much self-respect as you used to have?
i don't know.
never let anyone take your dignity and self-respect from you. it's near impossible to be comfortable in your skin without them; and when you aren't afraid of who you are life feels so much better.
i would much rather die on my feet than doubt who i am.

yours,
Nuala
