Thank you to everyone who ever told me I was brave for things that didn't take bravery for me to do, like transition publicly and joyously. Especially the ones I got really frustrated with, for making me so uncomfortable that I finally saw the difference.
Not only do I see how glorious it is to do every damn thing that feels good inside of me, but I understand that bravery is a decision. I have sometimes made the decision to be brave, and I know is also a decision I will make in my future, when called for.
