That night as i watched 'Nim's Island', there was one part of the script that i can relate to. Nim asked her father,"What is courage?" "He said courage is the something that you learn and relearn in your life to do the things you want."
I have no lack of very encouraging friends who said that i am very courageous to live the way i am living now. Perhaps what i have is simply impulsiveness and a stubborn belief that i can overcome anything in this world!
Yet, for all those years when awareness sets in, something i have never had the courage to do is to tell those that i loved, "i have loved you all this time, did you ever notice me?" Is it because i have always shown my independency so much so that no one noticed that i need to be protected, i need to be showered with care and concern, that i am not as courageous as what i have portrayed. It's my own fault, actually, because opening up to people is not what i have always believed in and do, not even to the dearest people around me. Swallowing pain and sorrow seemed to be my forte a long time.
Yes, i still lack the courage to do alot of things. I am still learning or perhaps relearning, thinking and rethinking, to truly act upon my thoughts of especially what i should do in the near future or even tomorrow. Alas, am at LOSS again!
Life is too short for me to procrastinate and time will never stand still in terms of happiness. To unseal the 'courage' within me, it has got to be me...somehow...
