It is up to you
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you’ll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey.” — Princess Diaries
Did you know that it is your duty to stand up for yourself? I am sure you have heard about it a million times, but you might not know the fact that no one will ever take care of what your duty is. Meaning that you might think there is plenty of people willing to offer you their help, but if you pay attention, although they could help they will not do it for you.
Truth is, everybody is so involved in their hopes and troubles that they forget about you. And do not get me wrong, of course, there are always those amazing people who would do the impossible to make you happy. But here we go again: IT IS UP TO YOU TO BE HAPPY. YOUR HAPPINESS is your decision.
And if the people I have just mentioned were not there at the moment you need them to stay, then, what would you do? Well, you can either stay into the dark hole waiting for someone to come and rescue you OR be your own hero and save yourself.
Just think about the strength that being your own hero would give you, and think about the brave person you would become. This is your story and the chances you take and the fears you embrace are the ones that will keep your heart vividly beating. “Do not be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You do not have to live forever, you just have to live”, said Natalie Babbit (Tuck Everlasting). And by that, I get to understand: you choose whether you keep being friends with pain and bad passions or you listen to your heart guiding you to where you belong.
