sometimes bravery isn’t what you think it is…
sometimes it’s not some grand gesture meant to impress a crowd…
sometimes it’s not even seen and applauded…
maybe it’s in the moments you choose to trust in love instead of give into fear…
when you hold yourself close and tell your own heart everything will be okay when you’re shaking in dread and panic…
or when you apologize and let go of your pride because it’s more important to be kind than to be right…
maybe it’s in the moments you feel the sharp edge of fear overcome every part of you…and you still keep going…
you embrace both the victory and defeat…
because along this journey every heart knows pain…everyone knows the weight of disappointments and broken dreams…
but you keep going…
you keep hoping…
you keep loving…
