Malala Yousafzai lives

Courage isn’t a feeling. It’s an inner fortress built brick-by-brick for strength when conditions are not favorable.

Malala Yousafzai is 14, and still alive.

She terrified the misogynistic and savage religious thugs of her region, and they reigned down brutality on her.

My prayers go out to her, her family, and the oppressed people of her country, especially all the girls who want to go to school.
