Just came up with this ~ it may be a bit short but enjoy it anyway............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiccup was sitting in his hut - thinking. He had been working for a while and now he had a headache. He was a bit tired and was on the verge of tears. He just felt stressed.

"How can I act so strong - when I'm so weak? How can I act so brave when I'm just a coward?" Hiccup thought, as he sighed and leaned his head back to rest it on a wall.

"How?! How can I?!" Hiccup finally exclaimed.

"How can you what babe?" Astrid asked.

Hiccup jerked his head towards her voice.

"Hey mi'lady." Hiccup said.

"What are you thinking about?" Astrid asked.

Hiccup sighed, "How can I act so strong - when I'm so weak? How can I act so brave when I'm a coward?" 

Astrid got a confused look, "What do you mean?"

"In front of you guys I act. It's hard to stay strong and brave. I.......I just can't keep up this act any longer."

"Then don't. Be yourself. Just. Be. You." Astrid said.

"Really?" Hiccup asked.

"Really. And don't let anyone change that." Astrid said.

Yeah that's all I've got because that's what I've been telling myself today~ 'I'm not strong or brave. I'm just a coward.' 'How can I act so strong and brave? When I'm just a coward and weak?''I'm not strong ~ I just act it. I'm just weak.' 

So how Hiccup is acting in this is basically how I was thinking today.....

Anyway, God's blessings
