I used to think one needed to be fearless
To have tons of courage
I have finally learned my lesson:
Fear doesn’t have to be out of the equation
For courage is not the absence of fear
It is taking action in spite of it
As a person with anxiety
Lots of things terrify me
But I find ways to keep moving forward
To choose fight over flight
And if you do that too
You are just as brave as I am
Yes we are. I have social anxiety and I could relate to every line.
Yes, you are brave…and so am I!
I too used to feel that I am the world’s timidest person, until I read somewhere that, ‘It’s not brave if you are not scared’!
:)
Love that line, it’s so true! Thanks for sharing <3
