About bravery itself

Giving up is the easiest way of letting go because it involves no risk at all. By choosing surrender you are thus choosing to let go of the weight of pain. But one should be as foolish as hell to believe pain is preventable. Sometimes you just have to realize that if you have a good reason, the only reason ever worth it, then you must risk it all and hope for outliving. But enduring the process is the hardest part, because you have to give away pride and selfishness without knowing if, in the last stage, you'll get what you yearn for.

Or you can just run away and hide. But when you realize that you cannot run away from your own feelings, then that is the precise moment in which you know, you clearly understand that this is the time of your life, that if you decide to miss it then you'll regret it as long as you live.

So when you say "fuck it, I ain't running away from this because it’s the only thing that could make life worth living", then you know you're not only being utterly honest to yourself, you are also being the bravest a human being can ever be.

And what is bravery without the prior act of fear? How can anybody state that one’s brave if self-integrity is not being jeopardized at that moment?

And perhaps fear is the only motivation for bravery as it becomes the interruption, the breakthrough by which you jump unconsciously and suddenly to what you desire the most.
