As in "grow a pair of ovaries" or "hold your ovaries". A pair of small, delicate (I think, I don't have ovaries so...) reproductive bodyparts responsible for gamete production and gender determination. Keyword is "Delicate".

I'm not even sure what for but everything you said resonated with me in a very real and positive way. As I do battle with my own demons in my own darkness, your story of Jonathan finds in me a continued compassion for all who stumble in the dark, profound respect for those like you who manage to shine a little light, no matter how small, into that darkness.
