"We can't always be as brave as we want or need to be. We don't always make the harder choice, the one we know we need to make in order to change things for real. Sometimes we give in to our fear. We choose known over unknown, comfort over uncertainty. Even though that's often not ideal-to create our lives from fear-it's definitely human. And, it's okay. Our courage doesn't suddenly disappear just because we choose to ignore it. It may hide for a bit and make us work a little harder for its attention, but it's always there within us. We are born courageous, after all. Beautiful and brave. Whenever we get tired of playing at life with fear's rules, at last determined to change things for real, our courage will be there-ready, able, excited for us to let it do its thing."

"I forgive you, but I won't forget what you did, not in some threatening, I don't really forgive you kind of way, but just because what you did was shitty and really hurt me and I can't imagine it suddenly disappearing from my memory. In a way, it's even cooler that I'll remember that shitty thing you did to me, and you'll remember that shitty thing I did to you. That means we didn't need to forget that we hurt each other in order to love each other still. We figured out a way to forgive each other, for real, and still be friends. How beautiful, yes? Let's never forget that, either."
