It’s hard to be the lone voice in the crowd. It’s hard not to doubt yourself and assume, that if you’re the only one saying something that goes against the grain, that you must be in the wrong.

ESPECIALLY when you know tons of interesting fun facts—fun facts that could educate, titillate, and entertain friends and strangers alike (because who doesn’t love fun facts?). It’s a lonely road but if we’re determined to stick to our convictions and not be sheep—to keep our fellow beings informed—sometimes we all have to walk it.
