Hello,

I pretend to be brave and I go to the store anyway.

I pretend to be brave and

I go to parent teacher meetings and school functions anyway.

I pretend to be brave and

I go to family functions anyway.

I pretend to be brave and

I go to festivals, carnival and fairs anyway.

I pretend to be brave when I go everywhere, so am I a lier by pretending?

I afraid to go to sleep, because I'm afraid to wake up to another fire. That the only time I don't pretend to be brave

Are you afraid of anything? Of course you are. Everybody is afraid of something. It may be that you're afraid of the thought of not being brave.

of course we all r afraid of something or the other...frogs..crowds...eating...or sleeping..

bravery is not being not afraid of anything..but overcoming that thing which scares us

it happens lots of times when we realise "how cud i do this... i was a rat before" but from inside we struggle to kep away our fears or to sustain them

the idea of being afraid of the thought of not being brave comes when u ned to asure yourself that u need 2 emerge a winner..is these conditions one usually wins!!

I'm so proud of you for going forward, moving...even if pretending. Keep moving, keep going, and one day you will realize you are no longer pretending. The definition of courage is having doubt, but acting anyway. You are BRAVE!! GO GIRL!!


And I watch my daughter struggel with being afraid of so many things and hope to help her learn to be brave...then I pause and realize she already is in so many ways. I celebrate her in those ways.

Its about making the right choices for "you". We do not pretend but push our way through life. In life fear is the main thing that keeps us from doing many things. To realize this is to move forward , in the quoet of the great one " we miss 100% of the shots we dont take" being brave is a great quality to have. everyone fears something , this is called being human. The ability for you to pretend is what keeps you going but can come at a great cost. reality is taking your strength and dealing with actual problems and events. This is being brave to me..
