I like to remember that courage is the one attribute whereby faking it is the real thing. Putting on a strong front when youre actually afraid is the act of courage

Bravery is not never being afraid, it is being afraid and doing it anyway. I hope things get better for you soon.

I tell my kids, "you can't be brave if you aren't scared"

You’re gonna make it out the other side, friend.

I’m very scared about the other side but I know I’ll get there. Thank you for caring about a stranger. You’re a good person.

You've got this. The saying "it's always darkest just before dawn" used to give me a lot of hope (5yrs sober from heroin).

Things might be tough, but whatever it is, I know you've got it in you to overcome your obstacles, and that in and of itself is incredibly heroic.
