brave

I’m not brave. I’m just stu­pid. Some peo­ple will tell you it’s the same thing, but it’s really not. Brav­ery is under­stand­ing what you’re up against and doing it any­way, because you have to or because it’s the right thing to do. Stu­pid­ity is doing it any­way because you don’t know bet­ter. Maybe they over­lap some­times, but not here. I didn’t know better until I stared it in the face.

Of course, I’m still standing here. Maybe that’s bravery.
