I stand up
Examples
Some stances are just conducive to swinging. If I stand up straight for too long it's harder to swing. Plus my feet hurt.
I'm not as klutzy as I used to be... I've had visual therapy and all kinds of things to help, but I still wrap my purse around chair legs when I stand up to leave. I do ridiculous things on camera because I do them in my life all the time.
When I stand up from my writing desk, "John Banville", or "Benjamin Black" – that is, the one whose name will appear on the title page – vanishes on the instant, since he only existed while the writing was being done.
I'm definitely an animal lover, and I stand up for all animals' rights.
I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
I used to be ashamed And now I am proud. The world once was black And now it is bright. I used to walk head bent And now I stand up tall. I used to have dreams But now I have hope.
