Ὦ ξεῖν’, ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι

Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
Nothing to report. A normal day at school.
I've got to get a job. I need courage. Because I' m just so scared of EVERYTHING, you know? I don't know anymore, things were so much simpler just a few years ago. When I thought I'd never leave high school. Remember that feeling? Such a good feeling. I miss it.
I need courage like the Spartans. I imagine life as the million Persians approaching to conquer Greece. And I'm the 300 Spartans holding the pass of Thermopylae, (the "Hot Gates", or the "Gates of Fire")
This is gonna be tough.
