Bravery Unloced…
Okay, so I decided to redo my blog after lots and lots of self-doubt, fear, anxiety, and allowing other people to talk me out of it but I have decided to do it anyway. I hired a website designer Osagie Sites, and I am making a commitment to writing more regularly. This new blog is going to be my way of expressing myself, and even if no one reads it at least I put myself out there in the world and was brave right?
And speaking of bravery I really want to take a second and examine what exactly bravery is. I mean almost everyone around me tells me to “be brave” “be courageous” “put yourself out there” And I am still trying to figure out exactly what that means for me.
Do you know what YOLO is? It’s an acronym standing for You Only Live Once. And for years, Drake fans and everyone else on social media has been pushing YOLO out into the world. It’s a reinforcement of the idea that life is short so you better get busy living before you get busy dying, and you only get one crack at this life thing so you better make the most of it.
But I am still trying to figure out what bravery is to me. So first things first, this new blog, for me this blog is one of the things that proves my bravery to myself. Putting my thoughts, feelings, and life out for other people to read and know is probably one of the scariest things I have ever done, and you know what those “put yourself out there” people say, “do what scares you” so I am. I am writing this blog and I pray that is something that I can look back on and be grateful for. Until next time, Live, lite, love. Be blessed. <3
