Braveheart

Courage is to face your fears. I've found an amazing respect for both men and women that do the work. The ones that don't walk away when the troubles mount; but instead those that stand firm, sinking there entire being into the cause. Through this journey I've learned that I was not stupid but brave. I was brave enough to love the good and the bad. That I didn't smother my hope. I was brave enough to voice my needs knowing that in order to succeed they had to come before the other's wants. Brave enough to allow time for the adjustments to be made. Brave enough to bare the pain as transparently as possible in order to not mask as I heal. I am brave enough to know the difference between getting over something and just past it; I choose the latter because I don't ever want to stop loving my past; it will allow me the braveheart to fall in love with my future.
