I almost took my life and didn’t.  That was brave

I gave myself to someone else to love.  That was brave.

I moved forward with my life.  That was brave.

I moved away from family and friends for the first time.  That was brave.

I got married.  That was brave.

I moved again, far from family and friends.  That was brave.

I moved to a city that I knew no one.  That was brave.

I met new friends.  That was brave.

I created lasting friendships.  That was brave.

I quit a job I hated.  That was brave.

I found a new job, which I love.  That was brave.

I moved again, to a city that I love and call home.  That was brave.

I started looking inside myself to find out who I really am.  That was brave.

I found out things about myself that I hate and love.  That was brave.

I am working on creating a better, more insightful, spiritual life for myself.  This is brave.

I try to make it everyday in this big city life that I love.

I followed my dreams.

I am living my dreams.

I am brave.
