Some people told me after reading my blogs, “You are brave”. Especially after reading blogs of my story of cancer and my soliloquy. I recalled what courage was by hearing people’s comments. To be honest, lately, I do not rely on courage to act.
Years ago, I needed to gather up the courage to speak in front of many people or when I needed to say something directly to someone.
We have sensitive topics in all of us where we do not want to be touched, haven’t we? Let’s not touch them, just leave them in you. Also you should not touch wildly these topics of other people.
But other than that, you do not need to be secret? You can honestly let them out, don’t you think?
Perhaps you need to be brave when you let them out. For example, the content of “Story of Ikuko’s Soliloquy” could not be uploaded if I did not want people to think I am strange. I probably was protecting myself by hiding it. I did not write that with my courage, but at the time when I was about to upload, I thought if someone think of me as “OMG, she is weird.”, I was okay with that.
We are no more or nor less than what we are, we are just as is. It is me who can do something or cannot do something. You are hiding it to look like more than you. Why are you not confident? You have so much good in you. Please do not compare yourself with people around you. Poor you! “I have always been here and I am tired of hiding? your soul may be crying out. If you have a courage, you can show yourself. Let’s change your “I don’t want to people think of me as ~” to “It is okay if people think of me as ~”. Let’s change your ego with courage. You will be relieved if you do not lie or hide yourself.
