Brave Enough

I hope you meet someone brave enough to love you.


This little message above was sent to me a few years ago on Tumblr. The best intentions were behind it, I’m sure.
But for once, I had no response. I was left blank.
No smart-assed reply, no insightful reasoning as to what was meant, no defending my position (which is where one might instinctively want to go). 

Because I knew why.
I’ve heard this before, but this was the first time the term ‘brave’ was used. Brave. It’s extremely descriptive.
And it sat on me with the weight of hundred planets, that I haven’t yet shaken off. And it makes me sad… still.
Because, so do I.
