Today's Topic: Brave
I'm lucky to know so many brave people. But I think some people get forgotten in their bravery. Their bravery is quieter, less noticeable.
Like the bravery it takes for someone to get up and go on with their day when they feel like it's worthless. Or the bravery when someone is hurt by another person, but they forgive them and they forget. Bravery is needed in all the parts of our life. I just don't think we notice it enough.
Being brave, it isn't about fighting an illness or standing up to the bully. It's about getting up each morning and going through life with a smile, even when you are hurting. Being brave is sharing your feelings with people who loves you and you love. Being brave is admitting when you're wrong. Being brave is apologizing.
The bravery in people isn't always seen. But I think that's for the best. If we knew how brave everyone was all the time, then we would be too afraid to ask for help from them, we'd feel inadequate. People's bravery isn't always obvious, you have to search for it, and sometimes their bravery looks like weakness. But being brave isn't about defeating all your demons on your own. No, being brave is about asking for help when you're at your lowest.
Love,

ReplyDeleteGood writing.
ReplyDeleteThe bravery to get up and go on about your day, I can totally relate to that. Sometimes bravery is still, quiet and silent. Visiting from the Five Minute Friday!
