Not My Kind of Hero

by Pippa Grant

I want her to know she’s strong enough to do hard things. But you have to do the hard things before you know you’re strong enough.

I don’t know a single person who has never felt lost. Some recognize it. Some don’t. Some blame other people. Some try to get help. Some try to fix it themselves. Some try to fix the world around them. Some pretend there’s nothing broken and push through.

You can’t go through life without getting hurt, my friend. So you choose. Do you take the risk that it’s worth it, or do you keep hiding behind all the lies you’ve told yourself about being happy alone and not deserving someone to love you?”
