This bravery issue has been bugging me.
What, if anything, is brave?
After a few days musings these are my conclusions, prepare yourself. Lets go...
I think bravery is a far more complex thing that it first seems. A watered down word used to describe everything from necessary injections to carrying on when you have no other choice. A word chucked about here and there, the meaning, the actual root of the word, diluted and buffed away over time.
But to be brave, completely, truly and honestly means to sacrifice a part of yourself. To swallow the actual fear growing in your chest and carry on. For different people this can mean different things. To do a presentation to an audience of blank faces, to climb so high your head is spinning, to hurt yourself to save another. Every day there are brave acts but their often so minute they get forgotten.
To be brave is a big thing, a huge thing, but often shown in a tiny, tiny way.
