Brandon Sanderson: "The truest courage is not in charging into battle, but in standing firm against your own despair."

Healing is brave work. It takes more courage than people give it credit for.

If you see me walking the road with someone else, it is not because I like that person’s company, it is because you were not brave enough to walk beside me. If you hear me talking about that person all the time, it is not because that person pleases me, it is because you were too deaf to hear my heart beats. If you feel me falling with someone new, it is not because I love that person, it is because you were not there to catch me as I fall.

Sometimes we have to do scary things. Sometimes scary is what makes us brave.
