The thing about bravery, I think, is that it has little to do with the outcome and everything to do with the action. I believe that being in the business of buying the ticket or dialing the number or knocking on the front door or leaning in, eyes closed, and trying is more commendable than exhausting the options with careful planning. And you’re gonna get totally shaken up sometimes, and you’re, occasionally, going to stumble back home feeling bruised and ruined, but so what? Add it to the chapters of your story, add it to the things that have reminded you that you’re still alive, add it to all of the things you can say you’ve done that you were terrified of. If you don’t let this life shock and scare you, I guarantee that you’re going to miss out on a hell of a lot and resign your memories to “could’ve”s and “perhaps”es.
