Bravery is not the absence of fear; bravery is to know fear like how one knows the palm of their hand; bravery is to embrace your fears, to feel your hands trembling, to know the weight of fear intimately on your shoulders and still be able to walk forward, to acknowledge your fears and still fight against the flow—that is the definition of bravery. To not feel fear is inhuman; to not acknowledge it and bury it under the comfortable blanket of denial is stupidity; to embrace it and move forward regardless is true bravery.
