Being brave is being courageous enough to act while your past failures
tell you that you cant. We will all be broken at some point in life,
some more than others, but the true test of a persons heart is not if
they are willing to be defeated, but it lies instead in how many times
we are willing to get up.
When your heart tells you that it has love to spread, let it flow. Use your brain, and dont make totally irrational decisions, but when the time is right seize it. Even if this time is much sooner than you expected.
There will be many opportunities to take life head on if we look for them, and choosing to love someone who we hope will love us in the same way, is one of them. This is a step in life that is difficult to be brave about in. Choosing to love someone should never be taken lightly. But at the end of the day, you cant help who your heart chooses to love. Use courage, and believe what your heart tells you.
