I had to stop running. I had to turn and face my life head on. It wasn’t enough being like everybody else; I had to be the best, and I was going to show everyone what I was truly made of. I was done with being a terrified princess, constantly waiting to be saved. I was going to be a queen, and, like Vivienne said, I had better start behaving like one. - (Aurora Firedrake)Farah Oomerbhoy

To stop running is to cease running; to stop the motion of one's legs; to stop advancing; to halt movement; - (Collins English Dictionary) To face life is to accept the fact that you are living and you must make the best of what you have. You cannot run away from life or avoid it by living in self-pity; you must face it head on with pride and confidence.
