“This is courage… to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.” Euripedes
For a long time I believed that I was strong because I could do something that none of my friends could - make myself disappear. I was a magician being pulled out of my own hat, a never ending rain of sticks and stones and bones and bones. I thought that was strength.
Now I am beginning to realise that the real strength is in being able to recover. There is no courage in letting oneself drown. The real courage is in putting up your hand, admitting that you can’t do it alone and allowing yourself to be saved. The real courage is to be strong, even though this is not the ideal life that we are living, and to keep going anyway because we are bigger than the things that try to bring us down.
