Well, I think true courage, and often the most difficult kind of courage, is knowing when to give up. To recognize that while our efforts are noble the inevitable will prevail it's not meant to be. We can take our wants and truly mold or manipulate our situations but that doesn t make it foolproof. As people with busy lives we sometimes literally live 24 hours a day just to see our way clear to the next twenty-four. Or perhaps it s that we are so caught up in our miserable sad state to see what often ends up quite obvious, after the fact.
Depression can be very limiting.
It s amazing how healing it is when we recognize we should stop trying to make something work when it s not meant to. It s tough having courage sometimes. Yet people who aren t as clear surround me. But mainly that I'm facing a new beginning. It s exciting and scary at the same time.
