Courage

       Courage is a hike. Its an endless slope that has peaks and drops you never saw coming, but that's the fun of it. During the excursion your feet start to ache, and your legs practically become numb, but you wouldn't trade this feeling for the world. This feeling of somehow knowing that this one moment; this one turn could change your life forever. It could either reveal this rainstorm you never intended on walking into, or it could uncover a meadow so beautiful you never want to leave. You realize the longer you walk, the stronger you become, and the more confident you become within yourself. Whether it be dead ends or waterfalls you stumble upon, each decision makes you more aware of the undying truth that you are consciously shaping the trail you are walking on, and that the beautiful moments in life don't always have to be planned.
